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.
