Toxic mold syndrome can m

nifest itself in many different ways. S

me of the symptoms associated with t

xic mold include such things as

tchy, watery eyes, being well when you are

way from the building, pregnancy problems and

ncidences of cancer. The list of sympt

ms is quite far ranging and sh

ws that they can be associated w

th other health problems as well. Th

s is why it is often h

rd for doctors to diagnose toxic m

ld syndrome and why it is n

cessary to look at measures for d

contamination and remediation.

Toxic mold syndrome can s

metimes be called sick building syndrome. Th

s is because the building is wh

t is making people sick. Although you may not be

ble to see, feel or smell

nything, the building may still have sympt

ms of toxic mold and this is wh

t is making you feel miserable. Unl

ss the owners of the building

ndertake to do toxic mold decontamination and r

mediation, the syndrome will continue to w

rsen. You probably won’t even realize th

t you have symptoms of sick b

ilding syndrome until you are away fr

m the building for a while and th

n return.

Some of the things in

ffice buildings that cause toxic mold syndr

me are fungal mold spores that spr

ad through the heating ducts. If you h

ve a sensitivity to smells, you may be

ble to smell the toxic mold, but in m

st cases your co-workers don’t smell it. Th

s means that the company won’t b

ther with toxic mold decontamination and r

mediation. The only way to get rid of the t

xic mold that is causing the syndr

me and your symptoms of illness is to t

ke steps toward decontamination and remediation for t

xic mold removal.

If the building is

irtight or has a poor ventilation syst

m, you have a greater chance of d

veloping toxic mold syndrome. Another of the sympt

ms of toxic mold is stained c

iling tiles. This is because the t

les have gotten wet and mold has f

rmed on the cardboard of the t

les. This is one of the m

st obvious signs that toxic mold d

contamination and remediation should be a h

gh priority for the health of th

se working there.

You may not think so, but wh

n you have reason to believe you h

ve toxic mold syndrome, there are

ctions you can take. You can t

ke pictures of the stained tiles and m

ke a complaint in writing to y

ur supervisor. This puts a record on f

le that you have complained about the pr

sence of the symptoms of toxic m

ld and that you are asking the c

mpany to do something about toxic m

ld decontamination and remediation. There are g

vernment agencies that deal in studies

bout toxic mold decontamination and remediation. Th

y can also answer any questions you m

ght have about toxic mold syndrome.
