What You Need to Know About Indoor Mold and Dust Mites:

- Mold can grow on almost anything if there is moisture
- Mold can grow very quickly on damp surfaces like bathroom walls, window trim, and around air conditioner coils in your furnace
- Mold typically looks like a furry growth, black stains, specks of black, white, orange, green or brown
- Even if you don't see mold that doesn't mean it's not there - clouds of invisible bits of mold can spread through the air and if present in ventilation systems, will be blown into all living areas of your home
- Typical health effects of mold are allergic reactions, asthma, and respiratory issues
- The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that indoor levels of pollutants may be 2-5 times, and occasionally more than 100 times, higher than outdoor levels
- Dust mites can cause asthma to develop and is a large cause of indoor allergies
