The challenge of mold in the apartment has attracted the attention of health experts, politicians, agencies, tenants, and landlords in New Jersey. Prolonged exposure to spores and other fungal fragments puts many people at risk of various health complications. In this state, there are no measures put in place to compel landlords to tackle this health problem in their apartments. This paper presents a summary of several articles and publications addressing the problem of mold in apartments and why different agencies and citizens should consider it as a major public health concern in New Jersey. It also presents the cons and pros of each side of this problem. Thesis statement: Since there are no adequate policies or laws in New Jersey covering the roles and responsibilities of landlords when it comes to the problem of mold, counties should introduce superior regulations that can compel landlords to protect their tenants from the illnesses and costs associated with this public health problem. Research Summary Past studies have presented various observations regarding the predicament of mold in apartments and buildings. Most of the consulted publications and articles have identified this as a major public health challenge that policymakers and medical professionals should take seriously. For instance, Napoliello (2018) reveals that mold will grow on surfaces that remain damp for long periods of time, such as wood, tiles, walls, and rugs. Mota (2017) acknowledges that these fungi exist in homes in the form of tiny spores. The common type is called Stachybotrys chartarum, and it is greenish-black in color. It grows on ceilings, woods, and drywalls after prolonged exposure to moisture. Some strains produce mycotoxins that expose human beings to numerous health risks (Mota, 2017). Individuals who monitor them in their houses will have higher chances of addressing this health issue. The absence of superior laws in New Jersey makes it impossible for landlords to eliminate mold in apartments and safeguard their tenants. This gap explains why the issue has become a major health hazard in this state (Leshnower, n.d.). The background of the Senate Bill 2632 of 2011 reveals that the current regulations in New Jersey only empower different associations to pursue action plans that can support the safety, health, and welfare of residents in the targeted community. This means that the state lacks proper policies to deal with the problem of mold in apartments (S. B. 2632, 2011). Consequently, many people have continued to experience various health problems due to the presence of these compounds in their houses. This state’s department of health guides landlords and homeowners to remove mold whenever it grows in their houses. Mota (2017) observed that such an evidence-based practice could minimize the challenges and health issues associated with molds. The same position is held by different agencies across the country, including the Centers for Disease Control and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Increased quantities of mold in apartments can pose numerous public health problems to many people. The selected articles go further to highlight the unique health p
