Steer Clear From Black Mold
Stachybotrys sp. or black mold typically appears as a sooty black fungus, occasionally accompanied by a thick mass of white mycelia. It thrives on water-damaged, cellulose-rich materials such as drywall, paper, ceiling tiles, and wallpaper. This mold can produce mycotoxins, making their presence dangerous.
Exposure to these toxins may cause dermatitis, cough, rhinitis, nose bleeds, a burning sensation in the mouth and nasal passage, cold and flu-like symptoms, headache, general malaise, and fever.
There are currently no limits to the levels of airborne fungus. Data interpretation is based on a review of the building for conditions promoting fungal growth, the presence of visible fungal growth, and a comparison of air quality data inside the building with that detected outside the building.
