Also, when I had mold testing done, I found out is that one of the control tests is to test the outdoors for the amount of mold out there and then compare it to the amount inside. So, there is mold outdoors as well and the comparison is to find out how much MORE there is inside compared to outside. I was told that keeping the windows open actually makes more problems with more mold getting inside from the outside. So not to sure that outside is better than inside, unless you have a big mold problem inside. Regarding the Aero Bed--wouldn't it have that plastic smell? I'm very sensitive to that too. Anyone have any info on that? I've thought of having one on hand, but not sure I could handle the smell. Thanks! Arlene Rounce ARounce@...

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Well, there is mold everywhere. It's more getting away from indoor toxins and not just mold toxins but all the indoor pollution which is pretty sure to be worse indoor than outdoor unless you have a very good house condition and bad outdoor situation. > > > I have to say that I am thinking the same thing. > > Also, when I had mold testing done, I found out is that one of the control > tests is to test the outdoors for the amount of mold out there and then compare > it to the amount inside.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 ....also outdoor air is more oxygen rich which is really helpful if you are sick. > I have to say that I am thinking the same thing. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Yes, mold is everywhere, outside too, but what makes people sick is mold colonies that are toxin-forming. These can happen inside the house from plumbing leaks or house envelope leaks- of houses that do not breath enough to exhaust humidity. These type of colonies do not readily form outside, as there is too much competition from nature- but isolated inside your walls, with little competion- a mold colony can get going and cause allot of health problems. Once a person is so sensitized from the mold, they may become universal reponders, making the interior environment , consisting of dust mites, offgassing of MDF of plastics, carpets, ect- more of a load than a person can tollerate- thus living outside becomes a welcome relief from the interior environment-. The aero-bed worked for me- my chemical sensitivities are not that overwhelming-of course for those very sensitive- life becomes very difficult- I recommended an aerobed for outdoor sleeping because I have had so many problems in the past sleeping out on the porch- after one summer the mattress is moldy-and yes, in the cold weather the aerobed is cold- and needs an extra comforter underneigth - In , arounce@... wrote: > > >> > > I have to say that I am thinking the same thing. > > Also, when I had mold testing done, I found out is that one of the control > tests is to test the outdoors for the amount of mold out there and then compare > it to the amount inside.
