During the last several years, illnesses and structural problems within homes have increased as a result of exposure to toxic mold and fungal microorganisms. There seems to be an increase of allergy symptoms & hypersensitivity, particularly in young children, as a result of mold. Learning more about mold and the causes of these problems is the first step in knowing how to maintain a healthy environment. Poor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) can be caused by many different factors such as:

• Inadequate or contaminated ventilation systems
• Humidity problems
• High particle (house dust) levels
• High allergen levels (dust mites, roaches, pollen, mold, animal dander)
• Chemical exposure to building materials or cleaning agents
• Pesticide use
• Environmental tobacco smoke
• Exposure to the byproducts of combustion (carbon monoxide)
• Exposure to indoor molds and bacteria

Americans generally spend more than 90% of their day indoors; thus, exposure to indoor pollutants can have a considerable health impact on individual sufferers as well as schools and businesses.
