Additional Addendum
MOLD ADDENDUM
Mold is found virtually everywhere in our environment – both indoors and outdoors and in both new and old structures. Molds are naturally occurring microscopic organisms which reproduce by spores and have existed practically for the beginning of time. Mold spores, like plant pollen, spread through the air and are commonly transported by shoes, clothing and other materials. When excess moisture is present inside a dwelling, mold can begin to grow on damp surfaces within 48 hours. There is conflicting scientific evidence as to what constitutes a sufficient accumulation of mold which could lead to adverse health effects. Nonetheless, appropriate precautions need to be taken.
