FRANKFORT, Ill. - Feb. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- “Toxic Mold” and “Black Mold” are headlines and terms often used by the national media when discussing the presence of mold in a home or building.  More often than not, they are referring to a particular type of mold known as Stachybotrys chartarum.

Stachybotrys chartarum
, like many other molds, can appear either black or green in nature.  Likewise, even though Stachybotrys chartarum can produce mycotoxins, its presence does not necessary mean that toxins are present.  Stachybotrys chartarum often grows on wet materials with a high cellulose and low nitrogen content, such as fiberboard, gypsum board, paper, dust and even lint.

In most indoor environments, all it takes for mold to begin to grow is moisture from water damage, excessive humidity, water leaks, condensation, water infiltration or a flooding event.  Stachybotrys chartarum is frequently found in these indoor environments, but so too are many other types of fungi associated with water damaged properties.  Cladosporium, Penicillium, Aspergillus and Alternaria are all frequently associated with moldy indoor environments, as are other molds.  Some of these are also known to sometimes produce mycotoxins and they can also cause health concerns.

Stachybotrys chartarum, or any type of mold growing indoors with high levels present in the air people breathe, is a concern for building occupants,” said Chris Heller with FastMoldRemoval.com.  “Many people are allergic to mold and it is a known asthma trigger.  Immuno-compromised individuals and those with chronic lung diseases are also at increased risk for opportunistic infections and may develop fungal infections in their lungs from some types of fungi, such as Aspergillus.”
