Mold spores are microscopic and airborne, making them easy to spread and difficult to contain. They can colonize virtually any organic material, especially wood, drywall, carpeting, and insulation. Exposure to mold is linked to a range of health issues, from mild allergic reactions like sneezing and skin irritation to serious respiratory problems, particularly for individuals with asthma, allergies, or compromised immune systems. In commercial and industrial settings, mold can compromise air quality, disrupt operations, and even lead to regulatory penalties if not managed properly.
