What is Mould?
Mould is a type of fungus that thrives in damp, humid environments. It reproduces by releasing spores that can spread quickly through the air, attaching to surfaces and growing wherever moisture is present. Common areas where mould is found include:
- Basements
- Bathrooms
- Attics
- Kitchens
- Windowsills
- Behind walls and ceilings
While mould comes in various colours, from black to green to white, it often emits a musty smell and can cause significant damage to surfaces, wood, drywall, insulation, and more. Beyond property damage, mould exposure can also lead to serious health risks.
Health Risks of Exposure
Mould is not just a cosmetic issue – it can significantly impact indoor air quality and pose health risks, especially for individuals with sensitivities. Prolonged exposure to mould spores can cause:
- Respiratory issues such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.
- Allergic reactions like sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and skin rashes.
- Asthma attacks and exacerbation of asthma symptoms.
- Chronic sinus problems or sinusitis.
- Infections in individuals with weakened immune systems.
Children, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with pre-existing respiratory conditions or allergies are most vulnerable to mould’s health effects. If you suspect mould in your home, acting quickly to mitigate health risks and property damage is essential.
