Four Reasons You Should Have Your Home Inspected for Mold

If you suspect that you have a mold problem, you need to have your home inspected to determine if your suspicions are correct. Because if there is mold in your home, it will not get better on its own. In fact, it will only get worse.

You spot mold in your home
You may have found some mold yourself, but you don't think there is any problem now, because you removed the mold. However, unless it was mold that grew in isolation, such as a shower door, it is likely that the mold you removed is not the only mold that exists. Mold can grow, and often does grow, behind walls and under the floor. If you have spotted mold, even if you cleaned it up, you should have your home inspected.

    Hand Hygiene is considered “the most important measure for preventing the spread of pathogens in health- care settings” because it reduces the spread of pathogenic organisms to patients and health- care workers. Studies in the mid 1800s showed that hospital acquired nosocomial infections and diseases were spread by the hands of healthcare workers. In the 1980s, the first national guidelines for hand washing were published, and many other guidelines followed. The US public health service released a training video in 1961 that demonstrated recommended hand washing techniques for healthcare workers. The video recommended washing hands with soap and water for one to two minutes before and after coming in contact with a patient.…

    Fluctuations of temperature and moisture are common in Iowa during December and January. These variations from rain, freezing rain to snow events, occur throughout the early winter months. Because of these transitory thaws and freezes, turf potentially develops an ice layer over the top of the turf canopy. The thickness and type of ice is dependent on the weather and site specific conditions. When thick dense ice coats the surface it can create hypoxic conditions (lack of oxygen) in combination with high concentrations of carbon dioxide and other toxic gases.…
