WHY BLACK MOLD IS A COMMON CONCERN IN CNY
Black mold can develop anywhere persistent moisture is present, including:
Water-damaged drywall or ceilings
Basement flooding or leaks
Attic condensation or ice dam damage

Poor ventilation in humid spaces
While not all dark mold is Stachybotrys, any visible mold growth should be professionally evaluated and properly contained.
Is black mold more dangerous?
Some molds produce mycotoxins, but health effects vary depending on exposure, environment, and individual sensitivity. The biggest risk is often prolonged exposure in enclosed indoor environments. Professional containment and HEPA remediation significantly reduce airborne exposure during removal.
