While molds in the outdoor environment keep each other in check and often perform beneficial functions by breaking down dead organic materials, inside they can cause many health and safety issues. Indoor mold growth involves fewer species in larger quantities, making them more concentrated and potentially more toxic. Spores invisibly fill the air in a building, landing on damp areas where they grow. Mold can digest a wide variety of materials to survive, and if left untouched can compromise the structure of a building.
Health Risks of Indoor Mold
Excessive moisture in buildings promotes mold growth and is associated with an increasing risk due to irritation, allergy and infection. Health Canada has concluded that living or working in a building with material mold damage can be harmful, although not all occupants will get a reaction. Symptoms of mold exposure can include headache, cough, respiratory tract irritation, eye irritation, rash, sinus congestion and allergic responses, such as asthma and hay fever-type symptoms. More severe effects of mold sickness or poisoning are rare and typically limited to individuals with suppressed immune systems, infants, and persons with high occupational exposure such as farmers and remediation workers.Learn more about the different types of mold and the health issues associated with them.
