What Is Mold?
Molds are microscopic organisms found virtually everywhere,
indoors and outdoors.
Mold spores are very tiny, light-weight, and easily-detached
by airflow, vacuuming, walking on carpet, or sitting on a
couch. In indoor environments they grow in air conditioning
ducts, carpets, pots of house plants, etc. They produce and
release millions of spores, which are small enough to stay
airborne, threatening to invade the human respiratory
system.
we are pocusing on mold remedtion or restoration services.
In large quantities, molds can cause allergic symptoms
similar to those caused by plant pollen. Mold growths can
often be seen in the form of discoloration, ranging from
white to orange and from green to brown or black.
In order for mold to grow, it needs food sources (such as
leaves, wood, paper, or dirt), a source of moisture, and a
place to grow.

 What Is Toxic Mold?
While
mold exists everywhere, it sometimes takes on a dangerous
form.
The scientific name for the greenish-black mold that turns
up on carpet, wallpaper, ceiling tiles - even wet leaves -
is Stachybotrys Chartarum (see inset). It produces a
mycotoxin that causes mycotoxicosis, and is thought to be
the cause of "sick building syndrome."

 Where
Can Mold Turn Up?
Just about anywhere. In addition to areas indicated around
your home, it may also grow in or on your boat, RV, hotel
room, or second home, especially if it is closed up for
extended periods of time.
Mold spores or seeds and the mycotoxins from mold become
airborne with almost any activity. Vacuuming, walking,
sitting on your couch, or just having the heating unit or
air conditioner on can cause the airborn mold or mycotoxins
to spread throughout your breathing space.
