The Impact on Occupants of Damp, Moldy Buildings (Center for School Mold Help, Sept. 2007, updated May 19, 2008)

The impact of mold on health has been described, in recent years, as "controversial". This description becomes problematic for people who find themselves ill from damp or moldy buildings, despite an increasing wealth of evidence. Currently, authoritative statements from the research community and prominent world governmental bodies are evolving, changing with each new set of findings. We shall present some of these statements, including what the World Health Organization, US Centers for Disease Control, NIOSH (National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health), OSHA, Health Canada & more say on the topic, with commentary on why there may yet be a controversy. Finally, we will summarize the impact on the individual and society.
