From the CDC: Facts About Black Mold and What You Need to Know<\/p><\/div>\n

People have a natural aversion to mold infestations, for good reason. While the health risks can be devastating, especially for public buildings and households with children, it\u2019s important to get the facts about mold. Defeating the problem with NYC mold removal is easier than you think.<\/p>\n

What Is Black Mold?<\/h3>\n

The CDC<\/a> identifies stachybotrys chartarum <\/em>or stachybotrys atra <\/em>as what\u2019s commonly called black mold or toxic mold.<\/p>\n

Black mold is found in homes and buildings inside of walls, in cupboards, and other places that affect the air you breathe. It feeds on anything with low nitrogen and high cellulose, such as wood, paper, and other building materials. It often grows when excess moisture is present.<\/p>\n

What Are the Health Risks of Mold?<\/h3>\n

There have been reports of serious health conditions like memory loss or a hemorrhage in the lungs due to toxigenic mold exposure. However, you\u2019re more likely to need NYC mold removal for health problems<\/a> such as:<\/p>\n

– Difficulty breathing<\/p>\n

– Asthma flare-ups<\/p>\n

– Respiratory allergies<\/p>\n

– Coughing and wheezing<\/p>\n

– Pneumonitis<\/p>\n

– Immune system problems<\/p>\n

Do You Need to Vacate Due to Mold?<\/h3>\n

The CDC recommends that those affected speak with a doctor about potential health effects.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that mold remediation does not necessarily mean vacating a building for days or weeks. Modern science has produced methods for NYC mold removal<\/a> that can be performed in a matter of hours. By killing black mold and encapsulating it so it cannot spawn again, you can avoid costly remodeling and lengthy hotel stays.<\/p>\n
