Toxic Black Mold and EZBreathe Ventilation
Toxic black mold is bad. The EZBreathe Ventilation System is good. Black mold is technically called Stachybotrys Chartarum. Because Stachybotrys Chartarum is hard to remember and doesn’t sound very ominous, many people prefer to use the term Black Mold.
Toxic black mold is an asexually reproducing fungus that is known to grow rapidly on water-soaked building materials like drywall. Wet basements with little or no ventilation provide perfect growing conditions for black mold also known as “Toxic Black Mold.” Black mold is a black and slimy-looking stain on a wall that is probably damp. However, when dry it can appear more greyish and powdery in appearance.
What is the difference between black mold and toxic black mold?
Stachybotrys is a toxic mold because it produces toxins called mycotoxins. Black mold is toxic to humans but the level of toxicity is dependent upon the length of exposure and volume of spores inhaled or ingested, as well as the individuals’ health. People with compromised immune systems as well as the very young or the very old can be more susceptible. What I am saying is the amount of mold taken into the body about the person’s health and makes it more or less toxic.
Mold inhalation symptoms can range from fatigue or headaches to irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, as well as chronic cough. When combined with an allergic reaction, symptoms can include nausea and vomiting.
How do I know if I have mold?
Trust your senses. If something smells funny or bad there is a reason for it. The nose knows. That musty basement smell is a giveaway that something is wrong. If you think you have a mold problem, you probably do. Mold spores and bacteria cultures that form on wet surfaces can expose serious health problems to you and your family. The elderly, those with allergies, and those with weak immune systems are vulnerable to a variety of illnesses due to mold spores and bacteria caused by a damp basement.
Can my basement be made safe from mold?
Think of clean air in the basement being contaminated by mold. The mold spores are added to the clean air. The added mold spores are condensed in the basement. Air because that’s where the mold is and the air is mostly stagnant. The moldy air must be diluted if not removed altogether. Therefore, the movement of air out of the basement brings in new air to lessen the concentrations of mold spores and improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). This is known as ventilation. Ventilation is necessary to maintain good IAQ.
When it comes to removing indoor air pollution and humidity you need a ventilation system that works year round. The EZBreathe Ventilation System is a whole-house ventilation system that expels the dampest, most humid, and most contaminated air from your basement to the outside. It replaces the air in the basement with fresher air from the upper floors four to six times per day automatically with no bucket to empty or filter to replace. This will improve the overall IAQ in the basement and the entire home.
