Warning: The Problem with Mold (Part 1)

The Mold Controversy… Affecting Managers, Insurers, Remediators and the Community

Mold has created some real controversy in the past few decades and interestingly enough, there are no solid legal statutes to guide consumers on their rights once exposed, measurements to gauge what acceptable or unacceptable levels of exposure are for humans, true definitions for insurers to recognize or cover costs for mold affected structures, government oversight for the restoration industry on removal/treatments to eradicate mold, nor definitive studies linking mold to health problems. In fact grumblings over the absence of perspicuity on the topic has created a conspiratorial atmosphere linked to lobbying by those monetarily interested, leaving many in the industry reluctant to speak definitively about it. In this Part 1 series on the topic, the history behind the recent mold phenomenon, detection methods and health affects will be explored.
