Temperatures
for Mold Growth
There are three critical temperatures for
mold: the temperature below which no growth
occurs, the temperature
above which no growth occurs, and the temperature at which most rapid
growth takes place. Most mold species grow well in temperatures
ranging from 35º to 110º F (2º to 43° C), although there are molds
which will grow at almost freezing and others which thrive at over 110º
F. The average optimum temp for mold growth is in the eighties F (27+
C). Freezing mold does not kill mold spores or mold
colonies---they become dormant waiting for warm temperatures and access to
moisture to grow again. Temperature above 170 degrees F kills mold
spores & growth. |

47% of US Homes Have Mold or Dampness
Problems
“Almost every U.S. home has at
least a little mold, but roughly 47% of homes have more substantial
mold or dampness,” says William Fisk, senior scientist at Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory, who has researched mold for more than 10
years. People who are exposed to mold are 30% to 50% more at risk of
asthma, coughing, and wheezing, he adds. Mold exposure also has been
associated with other health problems, such as bronchitis and
respiratory infections.”

Exposure to Elevated Levels of Indoor Mold
Can Cause Severe Health Problems

MESA, ARIZONA.
May 6, 2013. Humans and pets suffer severe health
consequences from exposure to elevated levels of indoor airborne mold
spores thrown into the breathing air by molds growing on and inside
walls, wallpaper, ceilings, floors, carpeting, furniture, window air
conditioners, heating/cooling ducts, attics, crawl spaces, and
basements.
The top dozen mold health problems, according to the U.S. Government's
General Accounting Office “Indoor Mold” report (Sept. 30, 2008), which
summarized 32 federal government mold studies and
reports, are:
1. Asthma, asthma triggers, or asthma symptoms (such as episodes or attacks)
2. Upper respiratory tract symptoms
3. Eye symptoms
4. Skin symptoms
5. Allergies or allergic reactions
6. Wheeze
7. Cough
8. Difficulty breathing, trouble breathing, or shortness of breath
9. Infections (including those affecting people who have chronic lung
disease).
10. Adverse effects to the nervous system
11. Fungal colonization or opportunistic infections in
immune-compromised individuals and
12. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
Ninety percent of all chronic sinus problems are caused by exposure to
mold, according to a Mayo Clinic study.
Mold-sensitive individuals can experience health difficulties after
only a few hours to a few days of being in a mold-infested building.
People differ significantly in their sensitivity and health reaction
to mold exposure.
Prolonged exposure to mold infestation cause such serious medical
problems as chronic fatigue-like symptoms;
immune suppression; central nervous system dysfunction (vertigo,
memory failure, irritability, concentration, and verbal dysfunction);
gastro-intestinal tract, heart, liver, and kidney damage; and even
cancer (caused by carcinogenic mold mycotoxins), according to E.
Johanning, M.D.; P. Landsgergis, Ph.D., Clinical Findings
Related to Indoor Fungal Exposure.
Aspergillosis is
an infection, growth, or caused by exposure to the commonly-found
Aspergillus mold, resulting in serious lung diseases such as:
●Pulmonary Aspergillosis (allergic bronchopulmonary type) that usually
develops in people who already have lung problems (such as asthma or
cystic fibrosis);
●Aspergilloma,
which is a growth (fungus ball) that develops in an area of previous
lung disease or lung scarring (such as
tuberculosis
or
lung abscess);
and
●Pulmonary Aspergillosis (invasive type) that is a serious infection
with pneumonia that can spread to other parts of the body, but almost
exclusively in people with weakened immune systems. Source: National
Institutes of Health.
Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis is a fungal lung infection that
is often
misdiagnosed and treated unsuccessfully as tuberculosis, resulting in
many unnecessary deaths.
Read
doctors misdiagnose aspergellosis as tuberculosis.
Anecdotally (e.g., in the famous CBS Dan Rather 48 Hours mold
report about brain damage to the husband and son of Melinda Ballard
because of living in their Stachybotrys-infested Dripping Springs,
Texas, house), some mold and health professionals believe that
exposure to the toxic mold species Stachybotrys chartarum can cause
headaches and damage the mold victims’ ability to think and remember.
Over a 5-year period, one Chicago family complained of headaches, sore
throats, flu-like symptoms, recurring colds, diarrhea, fatigue,
dermatitis and general malaise. Air sampling of this home revealed
spores of Stachybotrys. The fungus was found growing on moist
organic debris in an uninsulated cold air duct and on some wood fiber
ceiling material. The home had a chronic moisture problem that favored
mold growth. Extracts from the duct debris and contaminated building
materials were toxic to test animals. When the mold problem was
corrected, the family’s health symptoms disappeared.
One controlled study concluded that exposure to Stachybotrys chartarum
and Aspergillus versicolor was responsible for various pulmonary
diseases among office works in a water-damaged building. See
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1998: 40:
241-249.
The following individuals appear to be at higher risk for
adverse health effects of molds, according to the California
Department of Health: infants and children, elderly, immune
compromised patients (people with HIV infection, cancer chemotherapy,
liver disease, etc.), pregnant women, and individuals with existing
respiratory conditions, such as allergies, multiple chemical
sensitivity, and asthma.
Research on fungi and fungal diseases are seriously neglected-- a situation with grave negative repercussions for human health,
agriculture, and the environment-- according to The Fungal Kingdom: Diverse
and Essential Roles in Earth's Ecosystem, a report from the American
Academy of Microbiology.
"The average person is at risk for several fungal diseases, from toenail
infections to athlete's foot to life threatening systemic infections," says
Arturo Casadevall of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. "Fungi may also predispose people to asthma and
allergic diseases," says Casadevall. Despite the frequency of fungal
infections, according to the report they are relatively understudied, making
fungal infections difficult to diagnose and treat. When faced with an
undiagnosed fungal infection, doctors are forced to treat their patient
without a firm grasp of which drugs will work and which drugs will only cost
the patient valuable time.
But fungi are more than just a medical problem: as the cause of more than
half of all plant diseases, fungi are also an expensive drain on
agriculture. The economic repercussions of managing fungal pathogens on
crops -- the money and effort spent, the numerous pesticide applications,
the consequences of these applications for surface water and soil quality,
and the impacts on crop yields -- are extraordinary.

roof, window, plumbing and basement leaks; (2) complete drying of
flooded rooms within 24 hours to avoid
flood mold growth; (3) quarterly cleaning inside window
air conditioners and central heating/cooling systems to prevent
air
conditioning mold; and (4) looking
for and removing all molds in your home and
workplace.

A Summary of
Mold Health Problems
Fungi are a kingdom of organisms that include
mushrooms, mildews, molds, and yeasts. It is
estimated that there are between 50,000 and
250,000 species of fungi, and fewer than 200 have
been described as human pathogens that can
cause infections. Molds are ubiquitous in nature and grow almost
anywhere indoors and outdoors. More than 1,000 different kinds of
indoor molds have been found in U.S. homes. Molds spread and reproduce
by making spores, which are very small and lightweight, able to travel
through air, capable of resisting dry, adverse environmental
conditions, and hence capable of surviving a long time. Molds need
moisture and food to grow, and their growth is stimulated by warm,
damp, and humid conditions.

Mold or Mildew? Mildew is a common name for
mold or fungi, often
used to describe fungal growth on bathroom tiles/fixtures, and on wet
clothing.
Mold, mildew, and moisture in the home or workplace: "Molds
can grow on virtually any substance, as long as moisture or water,
oxygen, and an organic [food] source are present. Molds reproduce by
creating tiny spores (viable seeds) that usually cannot be seen without
magnification. Mold spores continually float through the indoor and
outdoor air.," reports the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health
Administration.
Mold that runs out of moisture to
sustain its continued growth goes into a dormant state [that can last
for millions of years] waiting for renewed access to moisture so that
it can resume its relentless growth made possible by eating
cellulose-based building materials and other organic food. Dormant mold
does not disintegrate or biodegrade over time. The dormant or
growing mold can endure being either frozen or high temperatures [up to
160 ºF].
If deprived of
water,
dormant mold fungi can survive without air, food, and water for millions of years in a hostile
environment waiting for moisture or water and food to restart and to
spread mold sickness and illness, toxic mold spores, mold growth, mold
infestation and contamination. Mold does NOT need air or light to
reproduce and to grow. Toxic mold grows well in both hot and cold climates
[such as Alaska and Canada], and up to 6 miles high. Mold must be killed and
removed by
mold damage restoration.

"Molds are usually not a
problem indoors, unless mold spores land on a wet or damp spot and begin
growing.
Molds have the potential to cause health problems. Molds
produce allergens (substances that can cause allergic reactions), irritants,
and in some cases, potentially toxic substances (mycotoxins). Inhaling or
touching mold or mold spores may cause allergic reactions in sensitive
individuals. Allergic responses include hay fever-type symptoms, such
as sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and skin rash (dermatitis).
Allergic reactions to mold are common. They can be immediate or
delayed. Molds can also cause asthma attacks in people with asthma who
are allergic to mold. In addition, mold exposure can irritate the
eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs of both mold-allergic and non-allergic
people. Symptoms other than the allergic and irritant types are not
commonly reported as a result of inhaling mold. Research on mold and
health effects is ongoing" advises the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency.

German Children Mold
Study
"Our [research study] results suggest that indoor mold spore exposure,
mainly during winter, might increase the risk of sensitization to all
allergens in children..We found that allergic sensitization was
significantly associated with exposure to one or more genera of indoor
mold spores, even after adjustment for house dust mite exposure. The
effect strengthened when we restricted our study population to children
who had lived in the same home since birth. Furthermore, our study
suggests that high indoor spore counts might increase the prevalence of
allergic symptoms in all children whether they are sensitized or not."

Fungal Infections
Deadly Tsunami Fungal Infection.
Survivors of the Asian tsunami could be at risk of the deadly fungal
infection Mucormycosis, Australian researchers said on Jan. 28, 2005.
Doctors at Sydney's St George Hospital treated the Mucormycosis infection in
an Australian man who was injured in the disaster. Doctors fear it could be
the first case of many. This fungal disease is caused by the Mucor mold
species, which is a very common mold species that readily grows in
water-damaged buildings worldwide, and which is commonly found in the soil
and in decaying vegetation. Mucormycosis affects the sinuses, brain, lungs,
skin and kidneys. People with immune disorders are more susceptible to the
infection.

Mold fungus spores
are very small in size and can easily enter the human body

and from landing ON food], drinking mold infested water, entry through one's
eyes, entry through open skin cuts and sores, and sometimes skin absorption
through skin pores. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
[FDA], "Most
moldy foods should be thrown out. But you might be able to save molding hard
cheeses, salami, and firm fruits and vegetables if you cut out not only the
mold but a large area around it. Cutting the larger area around the mold is
important because much of the mold growth is below the surface of the food."

"Sick Building
Syndrome"
Molds and fungi growing inside
buildings may be the source of indoor air-quality problems known as the
"sick building syndrome." While the syndrome has
been blamed on a variety of causes, from the emissions of particleboard
partitions and paints to carpets and cleaning supplies, Georgia Tech
research has found that metabolic gases emitted from molds and fungi may be
a significant source of airborne volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can
cause indoor air-quality problems. The new research suggests that control
measures prescribed for sick buildings may need to be altered to address
microbial problems as well as building materials.

Even if your home looks clean, chances

university research study that also found the mold is frequently in areas
most people don't associate with it -- windowsills, for instance. After
surveying 160 homes in seven U.S. cities, Kelly A. Reynolds of the
University of Arizona, Tucson, found that 100 percent of the homes tested
positive for mold on some inside surface. The discovered molds were all
highly allergenic molds. Read the entire

Hot Tip:
Airborne mold spores from live indoor plants can travel in air
currents to cause health problems for occupants and possible mold growth
in the home through mold cross-contamination. To help prevent mold, do not
keep live plants indoors. Also, you should not keep inside dried flowers
and plants upon which mold loves to feast, utilizing high indoor humidity
to drive the mold growth.

in buildings may include cellulose, which can be found in ceiling tile,
insulation, sheetrock, as well as wood and dirt. Clothing, carpeting and
padding, draperies, upholstered and wood furniture, leather shoes, and
other cellulose-based home contents are also favorites for mold to eat and
grow. Mold organisms have three modes: (1) active, live mold growth
when the mold has your house to eat and access to high humidity or water
leaks; (2) dormant mold or inactive mold, when the mold spores and
mold colonies go into sleep waiting for renewed access to high humidity or
water leaks; and (3) dead mold [no longer capable of
reproducing or living]. All three modes are dangerous to health. Even

The “toxic
mold” term refers to any mold that produces mycotoxins in its
spores. Mycotoxins are generally recognized to be cytoxic, meaning they have
the capacity to pass through the human cellular wall and disrupt certain
cellular processes---causing serious health damage to residents and workers.
Stachybotrys ("black mold"), Cladosporium, Penicillium, and
Aspergillus are the four most dangerous indoor toxic molds---frequently
found to be growing in homes and workplaces.

Bleach: NOT effective in Killing Black Toxic Mold
Bleach does NOT kill toxic black mold spores and mold growth
or household mold or stop toxic black mold growth on porous surfaces
such as wood and other building materials.
"While bleach is often recommended for remediation of surface mold on
wood, our [university research study] results illustrate that the
treatment does not eliminate the surface microflora,"
is the conclusion of the Oregon State University study of the
effects of chlorine bleach on mold growth on Douglas fir wood [an
important timber crop in the state of Oregon]. The research study
was conducted by Professor Jeffrey Morrell, Dept. of Wood Science,
Oregon State University, as assisted by Adam Taylor [graduate

Best
Temperatures
for Mold Growth
There are three critical temperatures for
mold: the temperature below which no growth
occurs, the temperature
above which no growth occurs, and the temperature at which most rapid
growth takes place. Most mold species grow well in temperatures
ranging from 35º to 110º F (2º to 43° C), although there are molds
which will grow at almost freezing and others which thrive at over 110º
F. The average optimum temp for mold growth is in the eighties F (27+
C). Freezing mold does not kill mold spores or mold
colonies---they become dormant waiting for warm temperatures and access to
moisture to grow again. Temperature above 170 degrees F kills mold
spores & growth. |

The adjacent

because air currents can regularly transport airborne mold spores from the
