Mold- You can't escape it

Well there may be one place without mold...

Mold, Mold and more Mold.

Did you know it's a fact that mold is everywhere all the time.  We cannot escape it.   When a Mold Assessment Consultant (MAC) is called out to do a mold analysis, one thing they may do is pull some air samples.  The MAC will then send the samples to the lab for analysis.  Once the results are back the MAC will be reviewing and comparing the indoor to the outdoor air with regards to mold sport count and species. 

There are no set standards or regulations for what is an acceptable level of mold spores for indoor air quality.  LESS than outside is the goal.  Sometimes a little less is fine other times you may want it a lot less.  So if mold species xyz is really high outside the MAC may not just accept a little lower indoor counts.  If the mold is Stachybotrys (the Black Mold) chances are the MAC will not approve of any counts indoors. 

My point to all this is there are a lot of variables to what is considered an acceptable level of mold and it can be quite subjective.  There is no such thing as a mold free home.
