We have an unfinished basement apartment and I am quite allergic to

mold and I have MCS. Does anyone know what would be the best type of

flooring to put down for a besement apartment floor that would keep

mold from growing? I know that there is moisture when you have a cement

floor in a basement. This house is a little over 50 years old. We live

in a dry area but the previous owners did not keep the house very

ventilated and it has taken us a long time to remove all mold or musty

floors and add more windows to create more air. My dilema is that if I

put synthetic material the mold probably will not grow but we will have

all those fumes from formaldehyde etc that I cannot handle and if I put

natural materials that maybe the mold will thrive. I am not sure what

to do since this apartment is right beneath us. Would tile work? Cork?

natural linoleum? any ideas? or perhaps book or resources you could

guide me to? Thanks cathy
