Health Risks of Mold Exposure
Mold can negatively impact health by causing inflammation, allergic reactions, or infections. Common symptoms from exposure, particularly to toxic molds producing mycotoxins, include allergic reactions and fever. Mycotoxins, which can be present in both living and dead mold spores, are influenced by factors like the mold’s growth surface, temperature, pH, and humidity.

Stachybotrys chartarum, commonly called “black mold,” is also widespread. This greenish-black mold thrives on high-cellulose, low-nitrogen materials like fiberboard, gypsum board, paper, dust, or lint, especially in areas with persistent moisture from water damage, leaks, condensation, flooding, or high humidity. Stachybotrys requires constant moisture to grow and produces mycotoxins under specific conditions. While active, Stachybotrys is covered by a wet slime layer that keeps spores from becoming airborne. Once the mold dries or dies, air currents or handling can release spores into the air, increasing exposure risks.
