Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) is a complex, multi-symptom condition often triggered by exposure to biotoxins, such as mold, bacteria, and other harmful environmental factors.

Mold in my house

Mold spores are so small that we need a microscope to see it. Mold spores are everywhere in nature, it is only when they are in over abundance that they become a health hazard. Toxic black mold is a term given to Stachybotrys a very dangerous mold.  Most molds growing in our homes are black, and can be from various different specie, each of which can affect us differently. Mold only becomes visible once there are more than 20,000 mold spores per square centimeter, this means that there could be mold growth on walls, ceilings and floors that we can not see. Only with air sampling can we determine if a room is safe. It is imperative to do air sampling to establish if the area is habitable and to identify which black mold is growing in your home.

Its the poor indoor air quality inside our buildings that contains Mold  and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) that make us ill. Mostly we are unaware that the poor air quality in our homes, offices and schools that is the cause off ill health. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that the air inside most buildings today are  6x more polluted than the outdoor air. Buildings with damp and poor ventilation suffers the most. Understanding poor indoor air quality and what it is made off is essential. Testing these buildings is becoming a priority to achieve good healthy living conditions.
