What is mold?
"Molds are microscopic organisms that are present virtually everywhere in our environment. Molds break down dead organic materials, such as wood and leaves, and recycle nutrients back into the environment. All that is necessary for mold growth to start on these materials is moisture."

Why it is important to know about mold
Builders, architects and consultants - as well as home owners and building owners - need to know about mold because of potential property damage and deteriorated indoor air quality from mold growth.

Ten Things You Should Know About Mold


•	Potential health effects and symptoms associated with mold exposure include allergic reactions and other respiratory complaints.
•	There is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment. The way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture.
•	If mold is a problem in your home or school, you must clean up the mold and eliminate sources of moisture.
•	Fix the source of the water problem or leak to prevent mold growth.
•	Reduce indoor humidity to 30-60%. Decrease mold growth by venting bathrooms, dryers, and other moisture-generating sources to the outside; using air conditioners and de-humidifiers; increasing ventilation; and using exhaust fans whenever cooking, dishwashing and cleaning.
•	Clean and dry any damp or wet building materials and furnishings within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth.
•	Clean mold off hard surfaces with water and detergent, and dry completely. Absorbent materials such as ceiling tiles that are moldy may need to be replaced.
•	Prevent condensation. Reduce the potential for condensation on cold surfaces (i.e., windows, piping, exterior walls, roof or floors) by adding insulation.
•	In areas where there is a perpetual moisture problem, do not install carpeting (i.e., near drinking fountains, classroom sinks or on concrete floors with leaks or frequent condensation).
•	Molds can be found almost anywhere; it can grow on virtually any substance providing moisture is present. There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet and foods. Source: National Multi-Housing Council
