Important Study: Neurotoxic Effects by Exposure to Indoor Mycotoxins (2010) PDF Print E-mail
Does indoor dampness and mold cause learning, brain, and nervous system problems? YES.

"Damage to the neurological system can result from exposure to trichothecene mycotoxins in the indoor environment. This study demonstrates that neurological system cell damage can occur from satratoxin H exposure to neurological cells at exposure levels that can be found in water-damaged buildings contaminated with fungal growth. (Abstract, Karunasena et al, June, 2010)
 
This groundbreaking scientific study proves indoor exposure to water-damaged or damp buildings can produce brain and nervous system effects. Share it with your school board members, school district personnel, physicians, local OSHA, and state and local health departments.  Order a mycotoxin test from Pure Air Control Services to determine if a damp indoor environment may be producing harmful mycotoxins, today.

"Damage to the neurological system can result from exposure to trichothecene mycotoxins in the indoor environment. This study demonstrates that neurological system cell damage can occur from satratoxin H exposure to neurological cells at exposure levels that can be found in water-damaged buildings contaminated with fungal growth. The constant activation of inflammatory and apoptotic pathways at low levels of exposure in human brain capillary endothelial cells, astrocytes, and neural progenitor cells may amplify devastation to neurological tissues and lead to neurological system cell damage from indirect events triggered by the presence of trichothecenes."
