Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 www.MoldAcrossAmerica.org After Reviewing our website, please forward this e.mail to the people you care most about ... the information in the website above could save a life. If your school, office, home, or the home you are considering buying, has evidence of water damage, you should be concerned about mold. Newer homes and office buildings are not immune; in fact, they could be at higher risk due to the environmentally " air tight " nature of modern homes. These molds thrive in areas that have been exposed to moisture, such as from broken pipes, flooding, roof water leaks, leaky plumbing fixtures, plugged or inadequate dryer or bathroom vents, and the like. Molds reproduce by making " spores. " Mold spores are microscopic and only become visible when individual spores accumulate. According to the United States EPA, these microscopic particles continuously move through indoor and outdoor air. When mold spores find moisture indoors, they may " begin growing and digesting whatever they are growing on in order to survive. " Molds gradually destroy whatever they are growing on, this includes wood structures, paint, even human tissue). Now, for the hundreds of thousands of people in this country who have been exposed to toxic molds in their home, school or workplace, MOLD ACROSS AMERICA offers accurate information, various websites and a nationwide 24-hour toll free hotline for those who have been exposed with nowhere else to turn. MOLD ACROSS AMERICA, a non-profit organization based in Cleveland, Ohio focuses its attention on raising public awareness on various indoor mold-related issues. Our main goals are to raise awareness by educating people on the dangers of, and prevention of toxic molds and to offer emotional support to those who have been exposed. Through education, MOLD ACROSS AMERICA is concentrating its efforts on reducing the number of mold-related illnesses and deaths caused by exposure. MOLD ACROSS AMERICA offers various types of assistance to mold victims and survivors across the country including educating renters, homeowners, first-time homeowners, landlords, office workers, schoolteachers and even children of what to be aware of. In addition, we offer a national toll-free number for victims and people with questions or who are in need of a sympathetic ear.
