Mold can be a serious issue. For the average healthy individual, mold exposure can cause minor symptoms that are similar to an allergic reaction. However, mold can trigger an attack in people with asthma and can cause complications for people with compromised immune systems, so those individuals need to reduce their exposure.

Get more information about mold from the EPA’s Mold Web site and by reading the following brochure.
