Sources OF MOLD Pores wafting through the air Undiscovered or unaddressed moisture Grows on wood, paper, carpet, foods

TYPE OF POLLUTANT Mold is a secondary pollutant. This is because it results from the interaction of the pores and a natural atmospheric constituent, mainly moisture. These conditions make it possible for the mold to survive and grow.

HUMAN HEALTH EFFECTS Common health issues that result from exposure to mold are allergic reactions and asthma attacks.

ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS Just as it does in buildings, mold can cause damage to wood. This leads to dry rot, which can create structural issues for trees.

PREVENTION/REDUCTION Because mold’s main cause is moisture, most methods strive to eliminate it. These include increasing ventilation, using air conditioners and de-humidifiers, and using exhaust fans when completing kitchen tasks.
