Why Should I Care?

Mold spores are a natural part of every environment. However, elevated levels may be cause for investigation and potential concern. Extensive mold growth can damage your carpet, furniture and walls. Over time, if it grows undetected, it can even cause severe structural damage.

Even more disturbing is its potential impact on the health and well-being of people living or working within that environment. This negative impact will depend on the amounts and types of mold, frequency of exposure and sensitivities of those exposd to it.There is a broad range of individuals who may experience more severe symptoms when higher levels of mold and mold spores are present. They include: 

• Building occupants, employees and visitors who have existing respiratory conditions (asthma, allergies, COPD)
• Weakened immune systems (post-surgery, undergoing chemo treatment, have heart disease, are smokers)
• Infants, young children
• The elderly.

In other words, a huge number of indviduals who will be in your building in one capacity or another.
