“Mold – A Known Asthma Trigger”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 30, 2010 – Today the IAQ Video network released the first in a series of educational videos meant to educate the general public about indoor air quality issues. The first video is entitled “Mold – A Known Asthma trigger” and is available for viewing today. Asthma affects up to 7% of the U.S. population and it has been reported that asthma causes 4,000 deaths each year in the United States and ¼ million worldwide. Mold is a known asthma trigger for some people, so it is important for those individuals to live and work in an environment that has good IAQ free of elevated mold levels. There is no practical way to eliminate all molds indoors; the way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture. If you think you have a mold problem, can see mold growth or smell a musty odor, it is important to have the problem fixed. Remove the moisture source and clean and remediate any mold damage. The new video covers these topics and has mold prevention tips for homeowners and renters. “This is the first in a series of educational videos that the IAQ Video Network will be producing,” reported Paul Cochrane, President of Cochrane and Associates, the company behind the IAQ Video Network. “Over the next several months we plan to tackle additional topics that have an impact on our air quality and on Wednesday of this week a new video about how IAQ affects school children will be made available.” To view the new video please visit http://www.IAQTV.com or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOdDfaYp9uE.
