Mold or fungi grow in the natural environment. Mold is common in the ambient air indoors and outdoors air. Mold needs moisture to grow. Many building materials (such as wood, sheetrock, etc.) provide food that can support mold growth. Even dust that has settled on these materials or furniture can be a food source for mold. Health problems that come from exposure to mold include allergic illness, irritant effects, infection, and toxic effects. Assessment for mold includes visual observations, moisture mapping, thermal imaging, temperature/humidity/dew point measurements and bio-aerosol sampling.
