All The Toxins Mould Will Release

Mycotoxins

Certain moulds produce mycotoxins, which are toxic substances that can cause adverse health effects in humans and animals. Mycotoxins can be found in mould spores as well as mould fragments.

Allergens

Mould spores contain allergenic proteins that can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. These reactions may include symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, skin rashes, and respiratory issues.

Irritants

Mould can produce substances that irritate the eyes, skin, throat, and respiratory system. Prolonged exposure to mould irritants may lead to inflammation and exacerbate existing respiratory conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Some moulds release volatile organic compounds into the air, which can contribute to indoor air pollution and cause symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue.

Endotoxins

Endotoxins are components of the cell walls of certain types of mould and bacteria. Exposure to endotoxins can trigger inflammatory responses in the body and may exacerbate symptoms in individuals with asthma or other respiratory conditions.

Formaldehyde

While not directly produced by moulds, the presence of mould can indicate moisture issues that promote the growth of other indoor pollutants such as formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is a volatile organic compound found in some building materials and household products and is known to cause respiratory and other health problems.
