Mould and bacteria analysis

Mold

Molds are microscopic fungi that grow in the presence of moisture. A mold problem in a building can affect air quality and cause a variety of respiratory problems for sensitive individuals. Although everyone reacts differently to exposure to mold, here are the main symptoms that can be experienced :

• Eye and throat irritation
• Headaches and chronic fatigue
• Sneezing, coughing
• Worsening asthma attacks

A mold problem in a building may develop as a result of water infiltration, or it may be the result of constant excessive humidity, lack of ventilation or drainage problems.
