Book Description:

Chronic exposure to environmental toxigenic molds mycotoxins, especially in

water-damaged buildings is an indoor environmental health problem to which

escalating health and property insurance costs are raising concerns in recent

times. Hence, controversies exist, some of which are based on misunderstanding

and economic motives. Nevertheless, it must be stated that molds and fungi in

general have both pharmaceutical desired and toxicological undesired effects on

human and animal environmental health. However, a lack of sufficient scientific

interest and recognition shroud the status of molds and fungi as the most

important and oldest known component of human adaptive flora to which nature

provides human survival with all the basic ingredients to defend them against

undesired microbial pathogenic attacks. However, because these adaptive

provisions are common, they are casually neglected from serious interests in

terms of vigorous research values and exploitation for human benefits.

Consequently, the unraveling of the myth surrounding the complex functional

ambivalence of toxigenic molds and mycotoxins may after all hold the key to

human infectious disease control.

This book is unique in the sense that it assumes a pioneering position based

mainly on published work in peer-reviewed literature and it integrates all the

facets of evidence based clinical environmental mycopathology with basic

analytic laboratory scientific findings. It highlights the importance of the

environmental health effects of toxigenic molds and mycotoxins and the need for

further development of knowledge in this area through transnational clinical an

basic science research. The overall organization of this book reflects the

author's many years of research, teaching and published work in clinical

neurophysiology and environmental mycotoxicology.
