Mold and mildew exist on this earth by digesting the organic world around them.  Without mold and mildew, nature would have problems decomposing organic matter.  Though mold and mildew are not the same, they both contain enzymes and spores.  The enzymes when introduced to moisture and organic matter create the digesting and decomposing process.  Spores are the method of reproduction and most often the major health concern.  Mold and mildew exposure can cause Organic Dust Toxic Syndrome (ODTS) or Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (HP).  ODTS may occur after a single heavy exposure while HP requires repeated exposures to an allergen and can result in permanent lung damage.  Currently there are no federal regulations on the assessment and/or remediation of mold, mildew or fungi in homes, workplace or public dwellings.  The EPA is developing permissible exposure limits and standardized sampling protocols on all indoor air pollutants.  Federal regulations will certainly follow once permissible exposure limits have been established.  In serious cases, OSHA may invoke the “General Duty Clause” in an enforcement action.
