Molds are tiny microscopic organisms found everywhere, both indoors and outdoors.  Indoors they can grow in air conditioning ducts, on carpets, on walls and ceilings and virtually on anything they can attach to.  

They produce and release millions of spores into the air and can invade the human respiratory system.  

Often, mold can be seen in the form of discoloration ranging from white to orange and from green to brown and black.  In large quantities, molds can cause allergic symptoms similar to those caused by plant pollen.

In order for mold to grow, it needs the following:

  • food sources (such as leaves, wood, paper, or dirt and dust)
  • a source of moisture
  • a place to grow
