Dehumidifiers and Mold Control
0%
Mold, mildew and dust mites can't grow in low-humidity environments.
By measuring and controlling the air-moisture levels in your home, you can create a cleaner, allergen-free atmosphere.
In warm humid climates, a dehumidifier is essential for allergy and asthma suffers to maintain an air moisture level below 50%. Whole house and portable models are available.

Flood Damage and the Indoor Air Problems it can cause
0%
Water damage can occur because of floods, leaky foundations, or sewer back-ups. If one of these things has happened to you, indoor air quality may seem to be the least of your problems. However, if you do not do things correctly right away, this excess water and moisture could become a breeding ground for microorganisms, such as viruses, bacteria, and mold.

Incidence of fungal spores at the homes of allergic patients in an agricultural community. I. A 12-month study in and out doors.
0%
A 12-month survey of the fungal spores in and out of homes of 145 allergic patients, in an agricultural community was conducted. More than 6,100 colonies were recovered and 33 genera identified from November, 1977, through October, 1978. Cladosporium was the most common genus identified and was recovered from 90% of the homes. Peak Cladosporium counts were observed during November through January, with another peak in March. Penicillium and Alternaria were recovered from 57% and 33% of the homes respectively. Relationships were observed between minimum daily temperature and indoor and outdoor Cladosporium and Mycelia sterilia counts. The relationship between sporulation of fungi and other environmental factors is discussed.

Incidence of fungal spores at the homes of allergic patients in an agricultural community. II. Correlations of skin test with
0%
A mold survey in and out of the homes of 145 allergy patients was conducted over the course of a year and frequency of mold recovery was correlated with skin test reactivity in 131 of these patients. The highest percentage correlation with positive skin test and finding mold in the home was with Cladosporium, Penicillium and Alternaria, while Helminthosporium, Fusarium, Aureobasidium (Pullularia) and Mucor each had correlations of one percent or less. The 0-10 age group was the most skin test reactive to molds in general while the over-50 age group was the least reactive. The percentage of patients sensitive to Alternaria also responding to other mold antigens was the highest with Helminthosporium. Since Helminthosporium was rarely recovered in this survey the data suggest that cross reactivity and not dual reactivity between Alternaria and Helminthosporium is occurring.
