Toxic Mold Attorneys
Toxic mold is the name given to several types of mold
that invade homes, commercial buildings, and schools, causing illness
and triggering asthma. There are several types of mold that can cause
illness, including:
- Stachybotrys atra
- Aspergillus
- Chaetomium
- Penicillium
The mold that has gained the most attention recently is stachybotrys
atra, also known as black mold. Black mold has been linked to several
conditions, including asthma, sinus infections, and brain damage.
Exposure to toxic mold can occur anywhere where moisture is present.
As a result, it is important to control moisture in homes, schools, and
other buildings in order to prevent illness. Moisture can accumulate in:
- Showers
- Flooring
- Sinks - plumbing leaks contribute to excess moisture
- Air ducts
- Carpet
- Kitchens - moisture from cooking contributes to mold growth
Toxic mold has been linked to a number of illnesses and conditions, including:
* Asthma - mold can trigger asthma attacks.
* Sinus infections - in 1999 mold was
discovered to be the main cause of chronic infection, and this statistic
holds true today.
* Brain damage - memory, learning, and concentration
difficulties may occur after exposure to black mold.
* Cancer - certain strains of aspergillus mold release toxins
that can cause cancer.
In order to prevent the growth of toxic mold, it is important to control
moisture. This can be done in several ways:
* Fix plumbing leaks immediately
* Use exhaust fans in bathrooms and in the kitchen when cooking
* Use a dehumidifier or air conditioner to reduce moisture
* Open windows to increase air circulation
* Use insulation to increase the temperature of cold surfaces that can
collect moisture.
