" In some circumstances, the toxins produced by indoor mold may cause

health problems. Many, if not most, molds can produce potentially harmful

substances, whether it’s allergens, mycotoxins, or other compounds. Hence,

all

indoor mold growth should be removed promptly, no matter what type(s) of mold

is present or whether it can produce toxins. "

" There is wide variability in how different people are affected by mold

exposures. However, the long term presence of indoor mold growth may

eventually become unhealthy for anyone. "

" The following types of people may be affected more severely and sooner

than others:

ï‚·infants and children

ï‚·elderly people

ï‚·individuals with respiratory conditions or sensitivities such as

allergies or asthma

ï‚·persons having severely weakened immune systems (for example, people with

HIV infection, chemotherapy patients, organ transplant recipients) "
