Common Questions About Toxic Mold Injury Lawsuits

What are the Potential Health Effects Resulting from Mold Exposure?

What are the Signs of Toxic Mold?

Mold often grows in the darkest, dampest spaces.  Mold grows well on cardboard, ceiling tiles, wood products, dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation, drywall, carpet, fabric, and upholstery.  Mold can be black, white, orange, green, or purple. Signs of mold include moisture or water stains on walls, ceilings, floors; an earthy smell of mildew or must.  The most common indoor molds are:

• Cladosporium: Brown, green, or black mold frequently growing on wood, carpets, or fabrics, and in heating and cooling ducts.
• Penicillium: Fuzzy blue, green, or yellow mold frequently growing under carpets, in basements, and in insulation.
• Aspergillus: Green, white, or gray mold with dark spots frequently found on walls, attics, and basements.
• Alternaria: Fuzzy white mold with black spots frequently found on fabrics and wallpaper and in bathrooms and kitchens.
• Aureobasidium: Pink mold with black spots found on wood, walls, caulking, and grout.
• Stachybotrys chartarum: This green/black mold is also known as black mold and often grows on paper, fiberboard, and gypsum board (drywall).
• Trichoderma: This mold is white and green and grows on wood, windows, and in bathrooms and kitchens.

How Can I Prevent Mold?

Mold spores will not grow without moisture, so the best way to prevent mold growth is to control moisture, by:

• Repairing leaks,
• Cleaning and drying wet areas
• Using a dehumidifier during humid seasons
• Avoiding carpet in humid and damp areas such as basements and bathrooms
• Ventilate bathrooms and other areas of moisture and humidity by using fans, opening windows, and maintaining good ventilation
