Know the Dangers of Having Mold in Your Bedroom<\/p><\/div>\n

Mold is a blanket term for a type of fungus that encompasses thousands of different species. Here’s a look at five common mold types<\/a> found in homes, which\u00a0will require\u00a0NYC mold removal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. Stachybotrys<\/strong><\/p>\n

When people talk about toxic\u00a0mold<\/a>, they’re actually referring to stachybotrys. While it’s also known as black mold, it can appear green as well. Stachybotrys gets its nickname from mycotoxins it produces that are especially dangerous to children.<\/p>\n

2. Aspergillus<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aspergillus comes in more than 185 different species, so it appears in a wide range of colors. In addition to triggering allergic reactions, aspergillus can cause serious lung infections<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Alternaria<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alternaria is the #1 type of allergic mold throughout the world. This species comes in dark brown or green with a velvet-like appearance.<\/p>\n

4. Cladosporium<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mold is generally\u00a0associated with warm, damp areas, but cladosporium grows equally well in the cold. Resembling\u00a0suede with its olive-green or dark brown coloring, cladosporium is often found in upholstery, carpets and other indoor fabrics.<\/p>\n

5. Trichoderma<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trichoderma is usually white with green patches that give it a “wooly” appearance. Some species of trichoderma produce mycotoxins similar to stachybotrys. Trichoderma also contains an enzyme that destroys wood and other building materials, which can lead to\u00a0structural damage.<\/p>\n
