Indoor Mold & Your Health

Mold might sound a little scary. And that fear comes with good reason. Exposure to indoor mold can, in fact, be quite harmful. The best way to arrive at a conclusive mold assessment and create a treatment plan, if necessary, is to start with a mold test. While it is true that mold can be found both indoors and outdoors, individual sensitivity levels to mold differ from person to person, and inhalation of poisonous spores becomes more likely if those spores are present indoors. According to the CDC(opens in a new window), individuals with heightened sensitivities, allergies or asthma may experience “intense reactions” to mold exposure. Further scientific studies conducted by the Institute of Medicine and World Health Organization suggest that indoor mold exposure can even cause upper respiratory tract symptoms and may be responsible for increasing the chance young children develop asthma. While a homeowner may need mold inspections regularly, these tests are crucial to protect both buyers and sellers during real estate transactions.
