Could Mold in Your Home be Triggering Asthma Attacks?

May is Asthma Awareness Month and last week, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published important information about asthma in America. According to the EPA, “The economic costs of asthma amounts to more than $56 billion per year from direct medical costs and indirect costs, such as missed school and work days.”
 
The staggering economic cost coincides with the fact that nearly one out of twelve people suffers from asthma. Nationally, 26 million people, including 7 million children, suffer from the condition.  One of the asthma triggers specifically identified by the EPA relates to exposure to mold. 
 
Mold is a natural part of the outdoor environment, but in some homes and buildings that have suffered water damage or elevated humidity levels, mold can be present in high concentrations.  In addition to triggering asthma attacks, people exposed to breathing mold can suffer from allergies, irritations and even fungal infections in some susceptible individuals.
 
Mold can grow almost anywhere in a building where it is damp and there is a food source.  This food source can be as simple as dirt and dust, but is often the very materials used to construct and furnish our homes, offices and schools.
 
“Exposure to high levels of mold indoors should be avoided by those who suffer from asthma,” stated Chris Heller with FastMoldRemoval.com, a leading supplier of mold abatement products.    “If mold is found indoors, it’s important for it to be safely removed.  At FastMoldRemoval.com, we offer the products and tools needed to effectively handle mold problems.  In addition to being a one stop shop for mold remediation professionals, many property owners turn to our products to handle smaller cases of mold contamination in their homes.”
