By: Maurice Manhattan Such expectations are less likely to happen since Hurricane Irene had left so many traces of her might. Aside from flood water –indoor and outdoor- and the debris, the chain reaction of the destruction is likely to linger. One major problem tackled by experts is the growth of black mold. Mold develops from moist making it fast to grow after a strong storm dies down and water becomes stagnant on streets and inside homes. Many people are allergic to it and many cases of severe asthma especially in New York is caused by mold. Though mold can be treated by home owners, experts do not advise the use of strong chemicals that are according to them, dangerous to the health of people. Read more about Mold, a Major Problem After Hurricane Irene Dies Down ==================================== "Along with the tragedies brought by Hurricane Irene are the traces of water pollution and other forms of nature’s stigma. So as the growth of black mold which is a product of indoor and outdoor flooding." "Mold is a new set of issue after Irene’s wind and storm ebb. This is a serious lingering problem that victims of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Ike have intensely experienced. They had proven how this confounding effect of water and wind can be so dangerous to the point that mold is linked to death to people allergic to it." "While you can treat mold yourself, it will not be as simple as it sounds. It is not advisable however to use strong chemically-based mold solutions because when the chemicals will be mixed or spill in the flood water, it can run the risks of water-borne illnesses or rashes to the skin." "Another adverse circumstance of using chemical-based solutions is when the chemical residues are left on the treated area and remain in the air. Experts discourage chemical-based treating process because it is detrimental not only to people but also to pets and the natural eco-system. It’s a relief that nowadays, a green and 100% non-toxic mold treatment is already out in the public."

"But after her winds die down and her storm surges recede, a “whole suite of issues that may not have been considered” will remain, said Ronald Kendall, director of The Institute of Environment and Human Health at Texas Tech University." "Victims of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Ike know all too well that the lingering risks of contaminated water, toxic mold, weakened structures and infectious diseases can prove harmful over the days, weeks, and even months after the hurricane winds have passed. But this dangerous reality may not be on the radar of people along Hurricane Irene’s unusual path." "While people all the way up the Eastern Seaboard probably heard the staggering numbers of deaths and injuries directly related to these earlier disasters, “some of the more subtle effects may not have stayed in the news for people outside the immediate area,” said Kim Knowlton, a senior scientist with the Natural Resources Defense Council." ========================================== Read more about Hurricane Irene’s Health Risks Likely to Linger at http://www.mold- ========================================= Not all mold solutions are effective as it what they claim.
