Mould in apartment

Because of the temperature differences between the street and the apartment, there is a high humidity in the room, the livingroom and the bathroom, so I found extremly big black mould smudges under the windows, around the windows, in the corners under the windows area, behind the toilet, behind the bed on the wall, close to the floor, and specially in the bedroom, behind the bed on the floor after few days I found moisture condensation.

Ten things you should know about Mould

  1. Potential health effects and symptoms associated with mold exposures include allergic reactions, asthma, and other respiratory complaints.
  2. There is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment; the way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture.
  3. If mould is a problem in your home, you must clean up the mould and eliminate sources of moisture.
  4. Fix the source of the water problem or leak to prevent mould growth.
  5. Reduce indoor humidity (to 30-60%) to decrease mould growth by: venting bathrooms, dryers, and other moisture-generating sources to the outside; using air conditioners and de-humidifiers; increasing ventilation; and using exhaust fans whenever cooking, dishwashing, and cleaning.
  6. Clean and dry any damp or wet building materials and furnishings within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth.
  7. Clean mold off hard surfaces with water and detergent, and dry completely. Absorbent materials such as ceiling tiles, that are moldy, may need to be replaced.
  8. Prevent condensation: Reduce the potential for condensation on cold surfaces (i.e., windows, piping, exterior walls, roof, or floors) by adding insulation.
  9. In areas where there is a perpetual moisture problem, do not install carpeting (i.e., by drinking fountains, by classroom sinks, or on concrete floors with leaks or frequent condensation).
  10. Moulds can be found almost anywhere; they can grow on virtually any substance, providing moisture is present. There are moulds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, and foods.

Mould problems in our homes

Mould is recognised as a potential health hazard and mould growth within the indoor environment has long been linked with poor health and property damage.

The risk of this is assessed according exposure time, species and quantity. Mould spores are the most significant bio-pollutant of the indoor environment and most properties have mould in some form or another, often hidden behind surface finishes in voids and stud partitions.
