All Homes Have a Mold Problem.
Even if your home looks clean, chances are good
you've got mold, often at levels high enough to trigger allergy and asthma attacks. That bit
of dour news comes courtesy of a new university research study that also found the mold is
frequently in areas most people don't associate with it -- windowsills, for instance. After
surveying 160 homes in seven U.S. cities, Kelly A. Reynolds of the University of Arizona,
Tucson, found that 100 percent of the homes tested positive for mold on some inside surface.
The discovered molds were all highly allergenic molds. Read the entire
home mold research.
Toxic Mold Destroys Both
Your Home and Your Health!
"Molds, a
subset of the fungi, are ubiquitous on our planet. Fungi are found in every ecological niche,
and are necessary for the recycling of organic building blocks that allow plants and animals
to live. Included in the group 'fungi' are yeasts, molds and mildews, as well as large
mushrooms, puffballs and bracket fungi that grow on dead trees. Fungi need external organic
food sources and water to be able to grow."
Harriet M. Ammann, Ph.D., D.A.B.T.
"Most homeowners believe that as long
as they do not see visible signs of mold, that is, patches of green, blue, or black
discoloration on surfaces, their environment is free of contamination. What they don't
realize, however, is that large accumulations of [hidden or concealed] mold may be growing in
areas that they cannot see, like air ducts, remote attic or basement spaces, or wall
cavities. Left to multiply, these infestations may produce enough organic compounds to
cause allergic reactions, sickness and, in extreme cases, death (a possibility with infants),"
Edward R. Lipinski, "HOME CLINIC: The Battle Against Mold and Mildew,"
N.Y. TIMES,
Sept. 01, 1999.
"Some strains of Stachybotrys cause allergies, asthma and
skin rashes. Others produce mycotoxins, released into the air. These toxins can seriously
damage the lungs and central nervous system."
CBSNEWS
"Fifty percent [50%] of homes contain problem molds.
A new medical study attributes nearly 100% of chronic sinus infections
to mold. A 300% increase in the asthma rate over the past 20 years has been
linked to molds," as reported in USA
WEEKEND, Dec. 3-5, 1999.
"Exposure
to certain types of fungi, known as toxic mold, can cause a serious [allergic] reaction.
If you're unlucky, this is the kind of mold you have. If you're really unlucky, your toxic
mold will gird for battle and go to war, secreting chemicals called mycotoxins, which can find
their way into your body, entering through your nose, mouth, and skin, lodging perhaps in your
digestive tract, your lungs, or your brain. Among these toxins are trichothecenes, which were
rumored to have been used as a biological weapon during the wars in Afghanistan and Vietnam,"
warned Lisa Belkin, "Haunted by Mold,"
N.Y. TIMES,
Aug. 13, 2001.
"All molds have the potential to cause health effects. Molds can produce allergens that can trigger allergic reactions or even
asthma attacks in people allergic to mold. Others are
known to produce potent toxins and/or irritants. Potential health concerns are an
important reason."
U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency,
March, 2001.
"Even if mold in your house doesn't cause you any medical problems, if it becomes
established in the wood in your home, 'dry rot' may form. Dry rot can result in a homeowner's
nightmare. When the mold dies, the wood dries and then shrinks, breaking up into irregular
chunks. Cracks in the wood fiber then act like straws, siphoning up moisture and carrying it
to undamaged portions of the wood. Left unchecked, this process keeps recurring, continually
rotting more wood, and can cause severe structural damage to your home,"
warned Vicki Lankarge, on the website insure.com.
"Mold problems have become more prevalent because of increased use of cheaper building
materials like plasterboard and plywood, which are more prone to growing mold when wet...Mold,
as always, is spreading. But so is mold litigation, to the consternation of the insurance
industry. Last week a state court in Austin, Texas, awarded Melinda Ballard and her family
$32.1 million in a case involving allegedly extensive mold damage to their Dripping Springs,
Texas, house. The jury ruled that Farmers Insurance Group had failed to properly address Ms.
Ballard's original water-damage and mold claim and committed fraud in its handling of her
claim," noted Christopher Oster, "Insurers Blanch At Proliferation of Mold Claims,"
Wall Street Journal,
June 6, 2001.

Adult-Onset Asthma from Workplace Mold Exposure
“The present [health study] results
provide new evidence of the relation between workplace exposure to indoor molds and
development of asthma in adulthood. Our findings suggest that indoor mold problems constitute
an important occupational health hazard,” reported the Finnish Institute of Occupational
Health, in Environmental Health Perspectives, May, 2002. The Finnish workplace mold study
estimated that the percentage of adult-onset asthma attributable to workplace mold exposure to
be 35.1%.

Mold Myth.
"While bleach is often recommended for remediation of surface mold on wood, our [university
research study] results illustrate that the treatment does not eliminate the surface
microflora," is the conclusion of the
Oregon State University study of the effects of chlorine bleach on mold growth on Douglas
fir wood [an important timber crop in the state of Oregon]. The research study was conducted
by Professor Jeffrey Morrell, Dept. of Wood Science, Oregon State Univ., as assisted by Adam
Taylor [graduate research assistant] and Camille Freitag [Senior Research Assoc.], Forest
