is a micro-organism that occurs naturally in our environment. Molds produce tiny spores that float in air currents and find suitable spots to grow. These spots include wood, paper, carpet, walls, and food. Molds need three things to survive: moisture, food, and a surface to grow on. Mold growth generally occurs in areas of excessive moisture. Molds can often be seen in the form of discoloration (orange, pink, blue, green, black, and brown). On this website you will find information about who mold affects, symptoms of mold exposure, how to tell if you have mold in your home, and how to test for a mold problem.
