Black molds: the Deadliest Fungus
More likely is the scenario where mold problems are stemming from sources like attics, wall voids or crawl spaces which have high moisture and mold growth.
What we know about the molds are the microscopic fungi that spores and float in the air just like the dust. Black Mold can grow on virtually and organic substances as long as the warmth, oxygen and moisture are present. Molds generate germination and form when the tiny spores land or come close the contact with the moist, warm surface. Molds have white form that is known as the Mildew. Molds destroy or break down the medium whatever surface it is growing on by gradually digesting the material. Molds rapidly grow on the house hold articles like refrigerator, toilet, crawlspaces, windowsills, carpet, wood, furniture, paint, clothes, food and paper.
The most common indoor molds are Cladosporium, Penicillium, Aspergillus and Alternaria. Stachybotrys (pronounced "stacky-bow-triss") Chartarum, known as "black mold," is not uncommon and certainly not rare and requires constant moisture and warmth to grow. Stachybotrys has been known to have toxic properties known as mycotoxins. The presence of mycotoxins is dependent upon the medium on which the mold is growing, ideal conditions like warm temperatures and humidity and damp surfaces provide an ideal environment. Materials most susceptible are fiberboard, wood, gypsum board, drywall, paper, packed dust and lint. "Mycotoxins" can be found in both living and dead mold spores.
The medical studies shows that the fungi like molds can develop the link with the ubiquitous airborne allergies can cause the disease in human respiratory tracts. Stachybotrys cause the disease like fatal pulmonary disorder. So killing black molds is expected to be the basic aim to guard the lives. Since most all mold reproduces with a combination of dampness and darkness, the first thing you should do is begin drying out your home. This can be done with a dehumidifier unit that you can purchase affordably enough from most home supply stores, many discount and department stores, or at many online retailers.
You will be surprised at the amount of humidity in the air once you begin running a dehumidifier unit. The purpose of a dehumidifier is to remove moisture from the air inside your home. Be sure that you empty the water collection bucket regularly as mold can grow within this as well if left unchecked for extended periods of time.
Having portable room air cleaners is important especially if you run any type of air conditioning or heating unit regularly in your home and you can physically see moisture build up on your window panes. Window air conditioning units are good for this type of excessive moisture accumulation. So, if you use these, its a really great idea to pick up a dehumidifier.
