How to Kill Mold Spores in the Air?

Other Allergy Symptoms
Additionally, there are also chronic conditions associated with mold exposure, including asthma, allergic rhinitis and even pneumonia. The health impact of mold in your home can be felt — sometimes immediately, sometimes slowly over time. As we’ve noted before, mold exposure can be linked with a lot of negative health consequences. In 2004, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found there was sufficient evidence to link indoor mold exposure with upper respiratory tract symptoms, cough, and wheeze in otherwise healthy people. It also declared that “mold spores are found in indoor air and on surfaces and materials….No indoor space is free of them.” And in a June 2006 report, the CDC concluded that “excessive exposure to mold-contaminated materials can cause adverse health effects in susceptible persons regardless of the type of mold or the extent of contamination,” while also asserting that the main way to control mold growth and mold problems in a house was to control moisture.
Do you have any musty smells especially in the basement? Is there any visible mold growing in bathrooms, window sills, books, shoes or walls? Are there water stains on the ceiling or walls? Is there peeling paint? (This often occurs after intense condensation.) Are the wood floors warping? If so you probably have mold in the air of your home.
