Raw Earth's Occupational Hygienists bring extensive expertise to the identification, assessment, and remediation of various mould species and microbial contamination.
What is Mould?
Mould, a type of fungus, is common indoors and outdoors, thriving in damp conditions. Found in forms such as black mould, white mould, and green mould, it plays a crucial role in decomposing organic matter. However, a growing body of evidence links mould spores to adverse health effects, driving a rapidly evolving industry in the assessment and remediation of mould in residential and commercial properties around Australia.
What Is The Impact Of Mould On Health?
The well-documented impact of mould on health includes triggering respiratory issues, especially in individuals with pre-existing conditions like asthma or allergies. Mould has been associated with respiratory infections, bronchitis, and allergic reactions. Prolonged exposure may lead to more serious health problems, such as the development of hypersensitivity pneumonitis and autoimmune diseases. Beyond respiratory issues, mould exposure is linked to skin irritation, aggravating conditions like eczema. Additionally, mould presence has been associated with neurological symptoms, including headaches and dizziness, emphasising the importance of promptly addressing mould concerns to mitigate health risks.
