 Asthma affects 7% of the population and 300 million worldwide. During attacks (exacerbation), the smooth muscle cells in the bronchi constrict, and the airways become inflamed and swollen
Washington, DC -- According to a recent study by researchers at the University of Otago, Wellington confirms that synthetic bedding has much higher levels of fungi related beta glucan than feather bedding. This is the first study of its type in New Zealand and backs up similar evidence regarding synthetic bedding and fungi done overseas. The problem of allergens in the home is not just limited to bedding. Allergens from cockroaches, rodents, pet dander, pollen and additional sources of mold are also ...

by Amanda Mikelberg / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Three weeks after the superstorm struck, signs of her menacing legacy can already be seen in thousands of homes across the flood zone.
You'll see it in the form of dime-sized, fuzzy, green spores clinging to chairs, black streaks of toxic mold lining the corners of dressers and two-inch-thick blankets of fungi covering garbage dumped along the road.

Williamsburg Humidity Causes Mold Problems at The College
| |
by Claire Gillespie | TheFlatHat
High humidity and frequent storms throughout the last six months in Williamsburg have left the College of William and Mary increasingly vulnerable to those black spots that make people's hair stand on end: mold.
"I guess the mold had been there since we moved in. It was on the ceiling tile," Stephanie Krauss '15 said. "The ceiling had water spots and then the water grew and spread. It was gray and then green and then black. It was disgusting. Your room is supposed to be somewhere you feel at home, but we didn't really want to be there."
Mold grows when warm, moist air comes into a cool building. When this humid air hits a cold surface, such as the cold water pipes that make up the air conditioning system of many residence halls, mold can grow.

| Sears Moldy Washer Suit Can Proceed as a Class Action Customers in six states who purchased... | |
by reuters.com
Customers suing Sears, Roebuck and Co over alleged mold defects in their Kenmore-brand washing machines can bring their claims as a class action, a federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday.
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in Chicago, found that customers who sued over alleged mold buildup in the machines had enough in common to band together and pursue their claims collectively.

Mold Dangers and Remediation After Sandy
| |
by Michael Feely | ShoreNewsToday
Many of the island's families had a rude visitor after the recent visit of Superstorm Sandy. Mold, like a relative that just won't leave, is an inevitable result of the flooding that plagued the island particularly in the north end and the golf course areas.
Mold produces spores that spread easily through the air to form new mold colonies. Growth begins between 24 hours and 10 days from the exposure to water. It produces a mycotoxin which is injurious to health, particularly among those with respiratory issues.
The following information, courtesy of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, may help readers of The Beachcomber News who are concerned about mold in their homes or are unsure how to remove it safely.

"To bring one's self to a frame of mind and to the proper energy to accomplish things that require plain hard work continuously is the one big battle that everyone has. When this battle is won for all time, then everything is easy."
