Indoor Air Quality

Mold growth in a building can produce eye, nose, throat, and respiratory irritation. Mold may also exacerbate pre-existing respiratory problems, like asthma, and cause symptoms in hypersensitive individuals. Preventing or minimizing exposure to mold and its contaminants is essential to reduce indoor air-related symptoms in building occupants.
