In the United States of America there are more than over 1000

species of mold, the common thing about them is that they can have

the serious consequences for both the living place and the health of

any individual. Molds are from the fungi kingdom and mildew is from

the same reputation. Molds are the microscopic airborne tiny spores

that reproduce through air. That means they are ubiquitous. Mold and

mildew have the same two features. Firstly they grow on the food and

make sure they get fed from that food and secondly they need wet and

damp condition to work out their enzymes in regards to grow for the

entire food organism in the world.

In addition, since mold?s job in nature is to break down organic

compounds in the soil, it does the same thing to the wood in your

house ? breaks it down. And that?s not even taking into account the

ugly stains and musty, moldy odors that it leaves in your house.

Molds has set up its emperor in every places like in the bathrooms,

paint, crawl spaces, adhesive, ceiling tiles, wallboards, plaster

walls or carpets on the damp wall surface on the food stuff etc.

According to the United States Center for Disease Control the mold

spores are the cause of irritation for the children and the adults

who have the asthma, sinus and cough. Spores can be allergenic. When

inhaled, mold spores may germinate, attaching to cells along the

respiratory tract and causing further problems in those with weak

immune systems. One example is Stachybotrys Chartarum or commonly

known as black mold which has been associated with sick building

syndrome. Some mycotoxins produced by molds are known to be harmful

to health in all people. Other mycotoxins cause immune system

responses that vary considerably, depending on the individual. The

duration of exposure is a key factor in triggering immune system

response. Farm animals often die or suffer from mycotoxin poisoning.

Mycotoxins resist decomposition from cooking, and remain in the food

chain.

There are ways to control mold growth around your home and keep the

harmful effects to a minimum. Here are some tips from professionals

who deal with mold and disinfectants every day.

? Moisture is a breeding ground for mold. You must stop moisture

from entering your house by covering dirt floors in cellars and

crawlspaces, and use a dehumidifier in damp rooms. Vent your clothes

dryer and bathroom fans to the outside, not to the attic or between

walls to prevent moisture buildup that encourages the growth of mold.

? Scrub mold off hard surfaces with mold cleaner and water, then

spray surfaces with a germicidal spray to kill any lingering mold

spores. The surfaces should stay wet with the cleaner for at least

two minutes, though some cleaners require longer.

? Bathrooms are the biggest breeding grounds for mold and mildew. An

exhaust fan can cut down on the moisture in the air that encourages

mold to grow. Tile grout and shower door tracks are notorious for

collecting mold. Spray them daily with a foaming disinfectant

cleaner and wipe dry.

? Mold on porous surfaces is another problem entirely. In most

cases, there?s no help for it. If you find mold on ceiling tiles,

wallboards, plaster walls or carpets, you?ll need to replace them.
