What is Mold?

Описание: Whether you’ve found a fuzzy green thing growing under your kitchen sink or are considering whether or not a contaminant in your environment is making you feel chronically ill, you’ve probably wondered, "What is mold?" a time or two. With how little society talks about mold, it’s a valid question!

Not only that but if you ask someone, "What is mold?" they might give you a wrong answer with the massive amount of misinformation and misunderstanding out there. This video will help clarify the issue so you know how to properly handle this fungus among us.

So, What is Mold?
The word "mold" is actually an umbrella term for a couple of different things.
The 100,000 different types of species of mold identified so far
The particle
The organism

This lack of understanding of the general question "what is mold?" has led to quite a few misconceptions, as the video explains. The main thing to keep in mind when considering this fungus is that while mold spores (particles) are all over the place, mold colonies (organisms) are not, which is why mold growth in a home is bad news. That transition and the resulting effects are the often overlooked and misconstrued aspects of mold.

Once that organism puts down roots, it will turn into a mold factory that continuously pumps particles into a home, lowering the indoor air quality and contaminating the surfaces within, both of which are not good for your health. That’s why it’s important to not only know the full and correct answer to "what is mold?" but also how to remediate it properly and what steps to take to prevent it from growing in the first place.

The Bottom Line
With the effects exposure can have on you and your family’s health, the ultimate answer to "what is mold?" is simply: something you do not want in your home. With how much time we spend indoors, ensuring that these spaces are clean, safe, and free from mold growth is one of the best ways to promote healthy living. Not to mention, we take an average of 20,000 breaths a day. What’s in our indoor air matters.
