Newer buildings and <<growing>> mold problem

[Guest guest]

I contacted two air quality people in area that work together. I

picked them, to meet with at least, because I read an article they

wrote on the web and thought they sounded pretty smart and were

located in Cincinnati. They will be out in a couple of weeks as

they are out of town. However I talked over the phone about

problems and one thing I thought was interesting is when I mentioned

it was an old house, built in 1938, person said that they both live

in old houses. Second time he said that he explained further, that

they both chose older homes <<because>> as he put it newer homes

have more problems than older homes as far as indoor air quality

<<Or>> mold, don't remember which he said. This has been brought up

before, such things as mold loving dry wall, etc, so more people who

have studied this avoiding new construction, which would mean if

true that perhaps growing problem with allergies, asthma, illnesses

are various kinds, including increase in cancers could be due to

newer building practices as has been brought up here before I

believe. Just thought I'd mention what these two said. As he said,

not that they are problem free at all though. He said in opening up

a wall to do something, he ran into a 'mumified dead squirrel'!!

I looked at sooo many apartment and screened with my mold cultures

and ended up in very old apartment building which isn't perfect

either but smelled better and tested better than any place else I

looked at.
