Ensure a healthier indoor environment by being aware of mold exposure's potential health effects and symptoms, including allergic reactions, asthma, and respiratory complaints. While it may not be feasible to completely eliminate all mold and mold spores indoors, managing moisture effectively is key to controlling mold growth.

If you discover mold in your home or school, it is crucial to promptly address the issue by cleaning up the mold and eliminating sources of moisture. Take action by fixing any water problems or leaks to prevent further mold growth.

Aim for indoor humidity levels between 30-60% to reduce mold growth. Achieve this by properly venting moisture-generating sources such as bathrooms, dryers and using air conditioners and dehumidifiers. Additionally, increasing ventilation can help maintain optimal humidity levels.

Remove mold by cleaning with water and detergent for hard surfaces, ensuring thorough drying. Absorbent materials like moldy ceiling tiles may require replacement. Prevent condensation on cold surfaces like windows, pipes, exterior walls, roofs, or floors by adding insulation to reduce the potential for moisture accumulation.

By implementing these measures, you can proactively manage mold growth and maintain a healthier indoor environment.
