Learn How To Identify The
Subtle Signs of Mold Contamination
The signs of mold contamination are often subtle, yet the damaging
effects can result in chronic illness. This handbook is a collection
of site photographs and case studies of fungi contaminated locations.
Contained within this manual is information, including charts and
graphs, to gain insight into causes, sampling, health effects,
locations and general information about MOLD. Take the time to learn
about this growing environmental issue.
The Illustrated Mold Handbook identifies the causes of mold,
how to find mold, how to sample mold, and how mold works in the indoor
environment.
Mold is everywhere. Its spores, or byproducts, may or may not
bother you. Many people, after continual exposure to mold, can be
sensitized. To those people that are immune-system compromised, mold
is a clear and present danger. As inspectors, or homeowners, it is
important to identify the conditions and eliminate the sources of
water, nutrients, and ultimately, the mold itself.
