Toxicological evidence obtained in vivo and in vitro supports these findings showing the occurrence of diverse inflammatory and toxic responses after exposure to microorganism including their spores, metabolites and components isolated from damp buildings.

Serious respiratory problems, including severe asthma and allergy attacks that can be life-threatening, have been associated with exposures to mold after floods and storms.
These increased exposures often occur as cleanup workers and occupants disturb mold-contaminated building materials, use chemicals such as bleach without the right kind of protection or use fans to dry out materials, which increases the amount of mold released into the air.
