Mold
Mold represents a growing real estate concern due to the negative stigma that mold-contaminated homes carry as well as the opportunity for significant liability regarding potential health damage. The American Lung Association and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in their brochure Biological Pollutants in Your Home, estimate that up to 50% of all structures have damp conditions that may encourage the development of molds and bacteria.
