Mold is More than Just a Buzzword

Erin Meyer • February 5, 2015

mold in home In recent years, there has been a steep rise in the number of companies offering mold cleaning and remediation services. TV and radio ads now try to sell you mold remediation services several times a day. This exposure may have passed the point of raising awareness of the mold problem, and may actually now be desensitizing the people that feel inundated by the many companies vying for their dollars.

Mold is a Potential Hazard

Exposure to mold is not a problem for everybody. Indeed, there are people that are not sensitive to mold. Unfortunately, not everybody is immune to the effects of mold exposure. Many people do experience symptoms from exposure to mold, and the Institute of Medicine has found sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with symptoms in the upper respiratory tract. Damp indoor environments are also linked to upper respiratory symptoms; this should come as no surprise given that the environment that fosters mold is linked to the presence of the same respiratory symptoms as mold itself. Mold can be present out of sight, but still produce mold spores that affect people. Some symptoms that people in damp indoor environments may want to be on the lookout for include general upper respiratory irregularities, cough, and wheezing. People with asthma are particularly susceptible to mold exposure, as it may exacerbate asthma symptoms.

Mold Remediation Isn’t Just another Product

The ubiquitous ads may seem to have reduced mold cleaning and remediation to just another service that a person can purchase. There is more to this kind of work than a company name and a price quote. Mold remediation services are as varied as the companies that provide them. So, if you do find yourself in the position of needing to choose a provider for this kind of work, do your homework and find the best solution instead of shopping based only on the price. The best option isn’t necessarily the cheapest or the most expensive option.

Choose Wisely

There are many options for you when deciding which service to employ, but you should find the one that will best meet your needs. You want to find a service that is well-regarded by its customers, as well as a service that can work within your budget. The internet makes it much easier to check up on your prospective provider, so take some time to check up on the people that you have in mind. Choose wisely, and remember that you are making a choice that may affect the health of your family or your business.

School restrooms can often be overlooked and taken for granted, but they are a vital part of the educational experience. From providing a safe and comfortable space for students to take care of their hygiene needs to create a sense of community, school restrooms play an important role in the daily lives of students. In this blog post, we'll discuss the importance of school restrooms, the challenges they face, and some ways to improve them. As mentioned, school restrooms are an essential part of a student's day. Not only do they serve a practical purpose, but they also help create a sense of community. By providing a safe space for students to take care of their needs, restrooms are an important part of fostering a sense of security. Unfortunately, school restrooms are often neglected and suffer from a lack of resources and maintenance. This can lead to dirty and even dangerous restrooms that can cause health problems for students. Often times students communicate the need to wait until they get home to use the restroom. This can be because the restrooms are dirty, lack of toilet tissue or paper towel, or fixtures are broken or inoperable. Fortunately, there are some simple ways to improve school restrooms and create a safe and comfortable environment for students. One way to improve the restroom experience is to be sure the restrooms are regularly cleaned and maintained. This includes ensuring that all facilities are in working order and that any issues are addressed in a timely manner. In addition, the restrooms should be stocked with adequate supplies, such as soap and toilet paper. Ultimately, school restrooms are an important part of the educational experience and should be given the attention they deserve. By implementing these simple steps, schools can create a safe and comfortable environment for their students.
