Ladies and gentlemen, don’t get us wrong – not all mold you may come into contact with is dangerous to your health.

But still, you should be very careful, because certain types of household mold can cause problems. The experts warn that overexposure can affect your health in many different ways; ranging from allergies and respiratory infections to tumor growth and cancer.

Well, this means that if you are exposed to mold on a regular basis because of your job or where you live, then you may have to wear a clinical mask to help filter the air you are taking in regularly.

According to the American Industrial Hygiene Association, even smaller amounts of exposure to toxins in the mold can be detrimental to your health. One of the main side effects of mold which is widely debated is whether it can give you asthma or actually worsen asthma that is already there.

Douwes and Pierce said that a recent large European multicenter study in adults showed not only a significant homogeneous association across centers between self-reported mold exposures and asthma symptoms.’

A recent study, conducted by the EPA and Berkeley National Laboratory, has revealed that:

“Of the 21.8 million people reported to have asthma in the U.S., approximately 4.6 million cases are estimated to be attributable to dampness and mold exposure in the home.”
