Alternaria as a Common Indoor Air Quality Contaminant Discussed in New Online Video

PHOENIX - March 16, 2025 - PRLog -- The IAQ Video Network and Cochrane & Associates announced the release of their latest educational video today. Their newest production discusses a common type of mold known as Alternaria.

"There are hundreds of species of Alternaria that play an important role in decomposing materials outdoors," said Paul Cochrane, President of Cochrane & Associates and the IAQ Video Network. "Spores from Alternaria can make their way inside a building, and properties that have suffered from water damage or elevated humidity levels may also find Alternaria among the types of mold growing indoors. Alternaria is a common cause of allergies, and it can act as an asthma trigger for some asthmatics. It is also a known respiratory irritant, and can potentially cause infections in people with a weakened immune system."

This video was sponsored by a number of organizations and leading industry professionals that work to protect and enhance the public's health and safety. Sponsors include EMSL Analytical, LA Testing, Clark Seif Clark, Zimmetry Environmental, CTSI, and Healthy Indoors Magazine to name a few.
