Mold spores are constantly traveling through the air all around us and can be found both indoors and outdoors. It is not practical to expect a building or home to be completely free of mold; however, indoor mold growth can be prevented and controlled.
Resources to help individuals understand the impact mold exposure can have on health, how to prevent mold growth, and how to fix indoor mold problems are available through the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Check out the EPA's Mold, Moisture and Your Home guide.
