Serious reactions to mold health are not uncommon with very sensitive people. Continuous high exposure to mold can cause mild symptoms, such as allergic reactions even in healthy people.
Here are some important facts and tips about mold.
Forms can be found almost everywhere; they can grow on almost any substance, providing moisture. There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, and food.
For growth must have an organic source. Organic sources of mold growth include plasterboard paper, wall research, dirt, food and other organic materials and carpeting. Mold also needs moisture or high humidity, and the right temperature contributes to its growth.
It is almost impossible to eliminate all mold and mold spores in a room; indoor growth control method - humidity control. Some people with high allergies benefit from using a HEPA air filter or a commercial air scrubber.
Potential health effects and symptoms associated with exposure to mold include allergic reactions, asthma and other respiratory complaints.
Mold should be cleaned and the source of moisture eliminated if mold is a problem in your home or building. There is a common misconception that a mold that has been “killed” by bleach or another product is no longer a health risk. Even "dead form" spores can cause allergic reactions. To eliminate any health problems, the entire form must be removed physically.
Eliminate the source of water or leakage problems to prevent mold growth.
To reduce the growth of mold, reduce the humidity in the room (up to 30-60%): ventilation of bathrooms, dryers and other sources that emit moisture outside; using air conditioners and de-humidifiers; increased ventilation; and the use of exhaust fans in cooking, dishwasher and cleaning.
To prevent mold growth, clean and dry any wet or damp building materials and furniture within 24-48 hours. Humidity should be removed as soon as possible to prevent mold growth, if there is water behind the walls or between floors, ceilings or other building structures.
Press on hard surfaces cleaned with water and detergent and completely dried. You may have to replace absorbent materials, such as ceiling tiles, which are moldy. In the process of drying with large water losses, the base lining is usually separated from the walls and discarded.
Prevent condensation: reduce the potential for condensation on cold surfaces (such as windows, pipes, exterior walls, roof, or floors) by adding insulation.
Do not install carpeting in places where there is a constant moisture problem (for example, drinking fountains, bathroom sinks or on concrete floors with leaks or frequent condensation).
