Health concerns
According to Health Canada, mould growth in homes may pose a health hazard. To avoid potential health problems, Health Canada recommends that you:
- remove any mould that already exists in your home; and
- take steps to minimize dampness in your home.
This will reduce the likelihood of future mould growth.
Since some people are more sensitive than others, it’s impossible to establish a safe limit for mould. Talk to your doctor if you suspect that your – or someone else's – health problems might be related to exposure to mould.
