Mold study finds insufficient evidence

[Guest guest]

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) continues to find

" insufficient evidence " to link indoor mold in " water-damaged [office] building "

to asthma. [Toxic Mold? What's toxic mold?] These tax-dollar-financed bozos are

definitely on the fast-track (sarcasm), to " discover " what we ALL know to be

true about the cause of our suffering. They confirmed their own 2004 study, but

discovered a really " neat " new measuring tool, for mold, to allow them to come

to the same stupid conclusion they reached in their 2004 study. Way to go guys!

(This is the last paragraph of their study)

In conclusion, we showed that among employees in a building with a long

history of water damage, respiratory symptoms and post-occupancy asthma were

strongly associated with fungi in a linear exposure–response manner, especially

the levels of hydrophilic fungi (including yeasts) in dust. These findings

extend the conclusions of insufficient evidence for the development of asthma in

relation to the presence of mold or other agents in damp indoor environments

reported by the Institute of Medicine (2004). Because the markers (total

culturable fungi, hydrophilic fungi, and ergosterol) of potential mold exposure

were associated with health outcomes, we suggest that further research to

understand respiratory health effects in water-damaged indoor environments

include measurements of both ergosterol and speciated culturable fungi in dust.
