Guidance for Clinicians on the

Recognition and Management

of Health Effects related to

Clips from report

While we focus on mold, we want to

emphasize that the risk factor clearly associated

with symptoms and illness is chronic or severe

moisture incursion into buildings with subsequent

growth of microbial agents. The potential

role of bacterial agents, dust mites, and pests associated with

moisture in buildings should not be

ignored.
