Dangers of Mold

Mold spores enter buildings through vents, air conditioning systems, and open doors and windows. They cling to organic matter—paper, cardboard, drywall—and grow. As long as there is enough moisture, those spores will continue to spread, causing all kinds of problems for the building’s owners and occupiers, including:

• Smell: Mold emits a musty and unpleasant odor. This odor is usually the first sign that a mold infestation is present. It permeates every inch of the building and makes life very unpleasant for the people who have to live and work there.
• Property Damage: The purpose of mold is to digest and recycle matter, and if it’s spreading in your walls or window frames, that means it’s causing structural damage. It’s gradual, but if left untreated, it can lead to very costly repairs.
• Respiratory Issues: Chronic exposure to mold can cause serious respiratory issues, including severe allergic reactions.

It’s rare for mold to kill, but it can worsen health conditions and is particularly problematic for people with existing respiratory illnesses, including asthma and bronchitis. If you live with someone very old, someone very young, or someone with a chronic lung condition, or you run a business that caters to these individuals, clean that mold!

How to Prevent Mold in Your Home

If you’re reading this, it’s probably too late to take preventative action. Still, it’s good to know what you can do to prevent mold growth in the future:

• Use a Dehumidifier: If you’re noticing condensation on windows, it suggests you have a lot of moisture hanging around your home. It’s bad for you, but it’s great for mold spores. Use a dehumidifier to extract that moisture from the air.
• Dry Clothes Outside or in Dryers: If you leave your clothes to hang-dry inside, stop. All that moisture has to go somewhere, and it could be undoing your dehumidifier’s hard work.
• Open the Windows: After taking a shower or bath, open a window and let all of that steam escape. The same applies if you’re cooking. You don’t want to trap that moisture inside your home.
• Don’t Overfill Cupboards: Space out your clothes evenly in cupboards. They need room to ventilate, otherwise you’ll be encouraging mold growth in those dark, hidden spaces.

Most Common Types of Mold in the Home

There are many different types of mold. They are usually categorized as the following:

• Allergenic molds: Low threat. Includes Alternaria and many Aspergillus.
• Pathogenic molds: Medium threat. Includes Aspergillus fumigatus.
• Toxigenic mold: High threat. Includes Stachybotrys chartarum, also known as “black mold”.
