SAN DIEGO - Californer -- Mold can be found almost anywhere, both indoors and outdoors. It's been reported by the EPA that 75% of all buildings have water damage.

Delays in fixing the problems makes mold growth much worse. Unfortunately, mold in schools is not a rare finding at all, and to make matters worse, there are no set standards for indoor air quality in schools.

Mold spores are not the only danger when microbial growth occurs. Certain species of molds have the ability to produce a chemical as a defense mechanism, called Mycotoxins. This puts the children exposed at high risk of health problems as their immune systems are not fully developed. It's recommended by mold experts, removing any mold found growing indoors and fixing the underlying moisture problems.
