If The Smell Of Mold Is Strong, Could There Be Health Hazards?

Jackson Kung'u

Question: If the smell of mold is very strong in an office trailer/building, could there be health hazards? How can we tell if it could be harmful?

Answer: The smell is indicative of microbial growth which could include mold and bacteria. Microbial growth is an indication of moisture problems. The only way to tell whether there is a serious problem is for a professional to come over and conduct an investigation.

The Indoor Mold Is An Early Warning Device

The mold (or mould, in the Queen’s English) has been the victim of a bad press. Mention the word and it conjures up an image of something rotting or in the process of decomposition.
