Mould is a type of fungal growth that thrives in damp or humid environments. It typically appears as a discoloration or stain on various surfaces such as walls, ceilings, flooring and other organic materials. Mould growth is commonly found in buildings that have had water damage or high humidity levels, such as bathrooms and basements, but it can also grow in areas that are not normally associated with dampness or humidity, such as air conditioning systems or humidifiers.
Health effects of mould can vary significantly depending on the type, level of exposure, and individual susceptibility. Symptoms of exposure can range from mild allergic reactions to more severe mycotoxin poisoning. In order to reduce the risk of exposure, mould assessments should be undertaken at regular intervals.
