•Why are we just now becoming aware that mold is a problem?
• If mold has been here since the dawn of time, why all the recent attention?
TWO QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT BE ASKING YOURSELF

It is ubiquitous in the environment.
That is:
It is found everywhere.-e.g.: landfills, on our pets, in our homes, on our furniture, etc.
MOLD HAS INDEED BEEN AROUND SINCE THE DAWN
OF TIME...
![Page 16: Mold Recognition and Remediation · and lack of stable humidity in the indoor environment FLOODING & DRYING • Some are actually valid cases • Unfortunately, some are the result](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042422/5f461299241dfe02431a0caf/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Leviticus 13:47-59
• Regulations About Defiling Molds
• “47 As for any fabric that is spoiled with a defiling mold—any woolen or linen clothing, 48 any woven or knitted material of linen or wool, any leather or anything made of leather”
MOLD IN THE BIBLE

USE OF SYNTHETIC BUILDING MATERIALS AND FURNISHINGS
(PLASTIC & OIL BASED PRODUCTS)
![Page 22: Mold Recognition and Remediation · and lack of stable humidity in the indoor environment FLOODING & DRYING • Some are actually valid cases • Unfortunately, some are the result](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042422/5f461299241dfe02431a0caf/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• In older buildings, the plaster used for construction of interior walls is less likely to provide a good breeding ground for mold. In newer buildings, where wallboard (drywall) is commonly used for interior and exterior walls. The paper backing provides an ideal environment for mold if that paper becomes wet.

Today, Americans are spending as much as 90% of their time indoors, including more hours in the office at work.*
*EPA Studies of human exposure to air pollutants
LIFESTYLES ARE CHANGING
![Page 30: Mold Recognition and Remediation · and lack of stable humidity in the indoor environment FLOODING & DRYING • Some are actually valid cases • Unfortunately, some are the result](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042422/5f461299241dfe02431a0caf/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Most people know that outdoor pollution can damage their health but many do not know that indoor air pollution can also have significant adverse health effects.
• EPA studies have proven that indoor air pollution can be 2-5 times, and occasionally more than 100 times, higher than outdoor levels.

DOES MOLD ALWAYS CAUSE HEALTH CONCERNS?
![Page 54: Mold Recognition and Remediation · and lack of stable humidity in the indoor environment FLOODING & DRYING • Some are actually valid cases • Unfortunately, some are the result](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042422/5f461299241dfe02431a0caf/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
ALL FUNGI ARE OF HEALTH CONCERN WHETHER THEY ARE
VIABLE (LIVING, OR CAPABLE OF) OR NON-VIABLE (NON-LIVING)
All species of mold should be treated as hazardous. It is wise to err on the side of caution.

The health effects of mold generally fall into four categories:
• Allergies
• Infections
• Irritations
• Toxicity

Allergic reactions are the most common.
Symptoms Include:
• Eye, Nose and Throat Irritations
• Chest Tightness
• Breathing Difficulties
• Headache
ALLERGIES
![Page 59: Mold Recognition and Remediation · and lack of stable humidity in the indoor environment FLOODING & DRYING • Some are actually valid cases • Unfortunately, some are the result](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042422/5f461299241dfe02431a0caf/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Infections are not as common as allergic reactions, and primarily affect persons with compromised immune symptoms
due to disease or drug treatment.
INFECTIONS
![Page 60: Mold Recognition and Remediation · and lack of stable humidity in the indoor environment FLOODING & DRYING • Some are actually valid cases • Unfortunately, some are the result](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042422/5f461299241dfe02431a0caf/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Symptoms include infections to the:
• Skin (rash, dermatitis)
• Eyes
• Lungs
• Other Organs or Systems
ASPERGILLUS FUMIGATUS IS A WEAK PATHOGEN THAT IS THOUGHT TO CAUSE INFECTIONS.
INFECTIONS
![Page 61: Mold Recognition and Remediation · and lack of stable humidity in the indoor environment FLOODING & DRYING • Some are actually valid cases • Unfortunately, some are the result](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042422/5f461299241dfe02431a0caf/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Irritations are caused by Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds (MVOC’s), which emit highly toxic gases that can emanate from
material such as wallpaper glue.
IRRITATIONS
![Page 62: Mold Recognition and Remediation · and lack of stable humidity in the indoor environment FLOODING & DRYING • Some are actually valid cases • Unfortunately, some are the result](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042422/5f461299241dfe02431a0caf/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
The toxic gases, which may be pungent, are released into the air,
creating the musty smells we associate with mold and mildew.
IRRITATIONS
![Page 63: Mold Recognition and Remediation · and lack of stable humidity in the indoor environment FLOODING & DRYING • Some are actually valid cases • Unfortunately, some are the result](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042422/5f461299241dfe02431a0caf/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Some, but not all, molds can emit mycotoxins.
Types of mycotoxic* molds include:
• Aspergillus
• Stachybotris
*Not all mold genera has been tested for toxins.
