Grow. However while the heat indoors clashes with the cold window causing condensation and
therefore a damp environment, Jones explains winter is a common time for wet weather to also
creep inside."Most people are unaware moisture can penetrate from the outside environment
inside -- think frost and ice on a winter morning."
Types of mould and how we can identify them
Ever heard of Penicillium moulds? What about Alternaria moulds? Maybe Fusarium moulds?
No? We hadn't either. But as it turns out, these are some of the most common strains of fungi
that produce mycotoxins -- a toxic substance created by fungi organisms that can cause disease
in humans -- that are found in water-damaged environments. "There are literally millions of
different strains or genres of fungi -- several hundred that are pathogenic to humans," Jones
said. "But humans in many cases have an allergic or immune response to these ones, hence
why these different types of mould, when found in water damaged interiors, are commonly
allergenic to people." Most of us notice mould because it looks like, well, mould. But while not
all moulds are black or green (like many of us assume) it turns out the color is actually irrelevant
and is just a way of describing how the organism appears on your water damaged wallpaper or
damp plasterboard. So, aside from physical appearance, how else can we identify mould that is
invading our homes and causing us to feel unwell? "Odor is an excellent criterion and the
reason odour is significant is that it is related to something called 'microbial volatile organic
compounds' and these smell to us because they're usually an alcohol based chemical," Jones
said. "Identification of condensation, poor ventilation, leaks -- that sort of thing is another
indicator that you're likely to have a problem." However Jones explains by the time mould
becomes visible, you'll usually already have a serious indoor air quality and mould problem.
