More mold health effects were given by the IOM (Institute of Medicine) in the year 2004.
They said there was enough evidence to link indoor exposure to mold to upper Respiratory Tract symptoms, like coughing and wheezing, in otherwise healthy people.
Also linked to indoor mold were Asthma symptoms in people who were Asthmatics. The IOM also found limited and suggestive evidence that linked exposure to indoor mold, with Respiratory illness in otherwise healthy children.
What about mVOCs?
Have you heard of mVOCs ?
MVOCs are volatile compounds produced by mold that often give off strong, unpleasant odors, and are released directly into the air.
While it is true that MVOC research is still ongoing, it is already suggested that these Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds could be linked to symptoms such as headaches, nasal irritation, dizziness, fatigue and nausea.
