Important news article!
Paul Biedrzycki, director
of disease control and environmental health for the City of
Milwaukee Health Department, said many residents are
reluctant to have contractors come in and tear down material
such as drywall or wallboards.
"Unless
people adequately disinfect and discard items, they'll have
mold problems. Those will show up weeks later. There's
potential for respiratory irritation and respiratory
problems," Biedrzycki said. "Molds through spores can be
allergens, but not everyone is equally susceptible."

Mold vs. mildew - what is the
difference?
Mildew can thrive on any organic matter, not just
living tissue, and can appear on clothing, leather,
paper, and the ceilings, walls and floors of many
homes. It often lives on shower walls.
Mildew is a grey, mold-like growth caused by one of
two different types of micro-organisms.
Mold
-The enzymes and mycotoxins can also inhibit the growth of other
molds and microorganisms. Some mycotoxins are
considered to be harmful to health.
When conditions do not enable growth, molds can
remain alive in a dormant state, within a large
range of temperatures before they die. This explains
how molds can survive harsh conditions such as
containers in refrigerators or inside building
structure cavities.
Remediation of areas greater then 10 square
feet or any amount of more adverse mold types requires extensive engineering
controls to protect health and prevent the contamination of unaffected areas.
This work
should only be performed by a Certified Mold Remediator such as American Air
Improvement Resources, according to
strict EPA
Guidelines.

Increased public awareness and Federal and State regulations are resulting in
the removal of more hazardous materials from buildings, facilities, and the
environment to prevent further contamination of natural resources and to promote
public health and safety.
Asbestos was one of
the first air pollutants to be regulated. The NESHAP standard for asbestos
includes information on milling, manufacturing and fabricating operations, waste
disposal issues, demolition and renovation activities, and asbestos conversion
processes.

Asbestos Health Effects
-
Acute exposure - This type of study is based on
animal experiments. They provide a reliable estimate about the rapid clearance of
asbestos from the lungs.
-
Chronic exposure - This type of study has been done
with both animal experiment and long-term follow-up on asbestos-exposed workers. They are
useful for studying the slow clearance of asbestos from the lungs.
-
Inhalation - Occupational studies have found that
asbestos exposure via inhalation can cause lung cancer and mesothelioma (a rare cancer of
the membranes lining the abdominal cavity and surrounding internal organs).
-
Ingestion - Epidemiological studies have
found exposure to asbestos in drinking water can cause cancer of the esophagus, stomach,
and intestines. Asbestos fibers have even been found in such samples as urine, feces, or
mucus.
