How Mold Spreads

Mold releases tiny airborne spores that travel easily through ventilation systems, quickly spreading throughout a building. Inhaling these spores can lead to serious health issues over time.

  • Spreads Through Air – Mold spores travel via air currents, HVAC systems, and disturbed surfaces.
  • Causes Health Issues – Prolonged exposure can lead to respiratory problems and other health risks.
Risks in Every Space

How Mold Affects Health

  • At Home: Mold exposure can trigger asthma attacks, allergies, and respiratory issues, leading to frequent flare-ups and potential hospital visits. Even those without pre-existing conditions may experience eye irritation, throat discomfort, and lung irritation over time.
  • In Schools: High humidity, water leaks, and poor ventilation create an ideal environment for mold growth, putting students and staff at risk. Children with asthma or allergies are especially vulnerable, and prolonged exposure can lead to increased absenteeism and long-term health concerns.
  • In Workplaces: Offices, warehouses, and industrial buildings with mold problems can negatively affect employees’ health and productivity. Constant exposure may cause chronic coughing, fatigue, and breathing difficulties, leading to more sick days and worsening existing respiratory conditions.
