The presence of many biological agents in the indoor environment is due to dampness and inadequate ventilation. Excess moisture on almost all indoor materials leads to growth of microbes, such as mold, fungi and bacteria, which subsequently emit spores, cells, fragments and volatile organic compounds into indoor air. Moreover, dampness initiates chemical or biological degradation of materials, which also pollutes indoor air. Dampness has therefore been suggested to be a strong, consistent indicator of risk of asthma and respiratory symptoms (e.g. cough and wheeze). The health risks of biological contaminants of indoor air could thus be addressed by considering dampness as the risk indicator. (source: WHO)

There is a link between the exposure to black mold and other adverse health effects, such as acute idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage among infants, memory loss, or lethargy, and molds, including the mold Stachybotrys chartarum (Stachybotrys atra). Although the link has not been proven yet. Further studies are needed to find out what causes acute idiopathic hemorrhage and other adverse health effects. That's why it's important to know how to clean black mold.

We have all battled with mold and water damage restoration is one of the major things that can prevent the growth of mold. Mold will grow in places with a lot of moisture, such as around leaks in roofs, windows, or pipes, or where there has been flooding. Mold grows well on paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, and wood products. Mold can also grow in dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation, drywall, carpet, fabric, and upholstery. Mold is addressed in specific standards for the general industry, shipyard employment, and the construction industry. It can enter your home through open doorways, windows, vents, and heating and air conditioning systems. Mold in the air outside can also attach itself to clothing, shoes, bags, and pets can and be carried indoors.

In the year 2004 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) positively concluded that there was evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with respiratory symptoms like cough, wheezing in otherwise healthy people. This may also cause problems in people who have pneumonitis and people who are susceptible to immune-mediated condition. The IOM also found limited or suggestive evidence linking indoor mold exposure and respiratory illness in otherwise healthy children.

Moreover, a usual damp indoor environments can cause respiratory tract symptoms, cough, and wheeze in otherwise healthy people and with asthma symptoms in people with asthma. The IOM also found limited or suggestive evidence linking exposure to damp indoor environments in general to shortness of breath, to respiratory illness in otherwise healthy children and to potential development of asthma in susceptible individuals. In 2009, the World Health Organization issued additional guidance, the WHO Guidelines for Indoor Air Quality: Dampness and Mould. Moreover, there are a lot of other recent studies that have suggested a highly potential relationship between early mold exposure to the development of asthma in some children. This is especially true of children who may have a genetic susceptibility to asthma. Therefore, it's important that you are aware of the techniques of black mold removal to keep your family healthy.
