Are you struggling with mold in your home?
Have you noticed a musty, damp odor? Perhaps you have experienced water damage from a leak in the roof, a damaged pipe, or even flooding?
Whatever the cause, mold is a major source of indoor air pollution and can have serious health risks. Mold produces millions of airborne spores that, when inhaled, cause allergy-like symptoms, including runny nose, itchy watering eyes, coughing, and sneezing. Mold can also exacerbate asthma symptoms, increasing the risk of an asthma attack.
In the right conditions, certain types of molds can also produce Mycotoxins. Although naturally occurring, Mycotoxins can be extremely dangerous for some individuals. They have been associated with liver cancer and kidney failure; they can also damage the brain and central nervous system. For some people, the effects of mold can be devastating.
