By: Indoor Environmental Consultants, Inc. Elevated levels of mold can cause allergies, trigger asthma and result in infections in some people. It can also cause a condition known as hypersensitivity pneumonitis or HP, a kind of lung inflammation that occurs in people who develop immune system sensitization to inhaled organic dusts. HP can sometimes be mistaken for pneumonia, but it does not improve with antibiotics for infection. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), HP is also a concern for some workers. The agency reports, “HP has been documented in workers in buildings with mold and bacteria contaminated air-conditioners (including spray-water cooling systems), and contaminated ductwork and filters. This lung disease has also occurred in workers who worked in water-damaged buildings with roof leaks, plumbing leaks, poorly draining condensation pans, and high indoor relative humidity.” “Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is a potentially serious condition that can be caused by exposure to mold in homes, schools and businesses,” People across Texas and the Gulf Coast that encounter problems with mold or other pollutants in their indoor environment can turn to the professionals at Indoor Environmental Consultants for solutions.
