New Jersey Toxic Mold Lawyers
Toxic mold is a type of fungus that poses a threat of illness, including severe lung problems, skin rashes or memory loss. They produce harmful byproducts called mycotoxins that create environmentally toxic air that affects the body's nerves, respiratory system, skin and immune system. The severe health risks posed by being exposed to toxic mold can adversely affect your family's lifestyle, and it is important that you seek immediate medical attention. If you suspect that the safety of your home or office has been compromised by toxic mold, you should hire a inspector to conduct a toxic mold test and removal.
Toxic mold in a house or office building often goes undetected for some time, and this can cause serious health problems for anyone exposed to the mold unknowingly. If you live in an apartment complex, the person or company responsible for the upkeep of the house where toxic mold is suspected is ultimately responsible for maintaining reasonable safety.
Causes of Toxic Molds
Toxic molds grow rapidly when moist conditions are present. Mold thrives best at room temperature, so your house or apartment is a perfect place for mold-related allergies and illnesses to flourish. There are many spaces where mold can grow, such as on:
- Air conditioning ducts
- Washing machines with no floor drains
- Humidifiers that are not properly maintained
- Attics
- Upholstery
- Basement walls that are not water-proofed
- Ceiling tiles
- Insultation
- Carpets
