Common Household Molds
Alternaria
A large spore mold that can deposit in the nose, mouth and upper respiratory
tract causing an allergic response. Indoors, it is often found in carpets,
textiles, house dust and potentially damp areas like window frames and
showers. It can also be found in plant soil.
Aspergillus
Usually found in warmer climates in areas of water damage or extreme
dampness. Aspergillus species are also commonly found in house dust. Many
species produce mycotoxins which may be associated with disease in humans
and some animals. Also found in building materials and in fall leaves and
other decomposing matter like compost piles.
Cladosporium
The most commonly identified outdoor fungus, but it can easily enter into
the house through the HVAC and other airflow entryways. Cladosporium also
has an indoor species that grows on textiles, wood and other porous, damp
areas. Both indoor and outdoor species are triggers for hay fever and asthma
symptoms.
Penicillium
A very common mold known to cause allergies, hay fever and asthma. Species
may be found growing on wallpaper, wallpaper glue and decaying fabrics in
water-damaged buildings or homes. It is also found in carpet and in interior
fiberglass duct insulation. Some species can produce mycotoxins.
Stachybotrys
Pronounced (stack-ee-BOT-ris), this is an especially toxic black mold that
produces airborne toxins (mycotoxins) that can cause serious breathing
difficulties, memory and hearing loss, dizziness, flu-like symptoms and
bleeding in the lungs. Stachybotrys requires excessive moisture to thrive
(usually running water) and is a slimy black mold. Fortunately, stachybotrys
is not found in homes as often as the other molds listed above.
Where to Look for Mold
in New Jersey Homes
Mold grows on organic materials, such as paper, dirt,
wood and soap scum. Mold grows on moist materials, so mold growth is likely
in areas wet by water leaks, flooding, humidity levels above about 70
percent and condensation. Any flooded area that was not completely dried
within about one day is likely to have mold growth. Walls need to be opened
and rapidly dried to prevent mold growth. Any area that is stained from
water should be examined for mold growth. Peeling paint may be an indication
of wet walls.
In New Jersey Moisture seeping through concrete walls and floors will cause
moist conditions likely to cause mold growth on or in walls, carpeting and
materials stored in the basement. Mold often grows under cabinets, behind
base-boards, inside walls, in carpet padding and under vinyl wall coverings.
An unvented clothes dryer creates a very humid, warm environment conducive
to mold growth. Closets may have mold growth if clothing is damp or if there
is a cool outside wall in the closet. Also, there is a chance mold might be
growing behind furniture, particularly against an outside wall.
Mold will not normally be found in furnace or air-conditioning ducts unless
they were flooded because the heated or air-conditioned air is very dry.
Moisture coming through a basement floor or wall may deposit a light-colored
salt and other minerals that are sometimes thought to be mold. The deposits
should quickly dissolve and disappear when wet with water if they are a
salt.
Exposure to mold
Exposure to mold can cause cold-like symptoms, respiratory
problems, nasal and sinus congestion, watery eyes, sore throat, coughing and
skin irritations, and can trigger asthma attacks. Because some mold spores
are very small and can easily be breathed deeply into the lungs, it is not
safe to live in houses with high mold levels. Exposure to high mold spore
levels can cause development of an allergy to mold. People can react to mold
whether it is living or dead.
Everyone should minimize their exposure to mold. Children, the elderly,
pregnant women and people with existing respiratory sensitivities are at
higher risk for adverse health effects from mold. Some people are affected
when exposed to very little mold, while others may show no adverse health
symptoms when exposed to mold.
