Mold can wreak havoc with human health.
A 1999 Mayo Clinic study found that mold was the culprit in nearly all chronic sinus infections. Other recent studies have implicated mold as a factor linked to a tripling of the asthma rate over the past 20 years. Indoor humidity levels that are too high, or too low, also can affect the well-being of occupants, and the durability of the home or building itself. It keeps you warm and cozy in winter and helps save you money on heating bills. At The American Lung Association has identified mold as a major allergy trigger.
