Know About Mold,

Health
By Alexander Robertson, IV, ESQAs Americans spend 75 to 90 percent of their time indoors, they are exposed to a variety of indoor air pollutants, which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) claims may have 100 to 200 times the amount of pollutants in outdoor air.
Mold spores are ubiquitous, meaning they are naturally occurring and can be found indoors and out. The mere presence of mold spores in your home, school or office, however, should not be cause for alarm.

It’s when mold colonizes indoors that it can have devastating effects on structures and the health of the occupants.
