Moulds are microscopic creatures that thrive in damp or moist places literally bedding can become a cafeteria and breeding ground for mould. Think of your ductwork, full of mold, mildew, dust and bacteria. Modern homes are becoming more energy efficient, allowing for almost no fresh air to be circulated into a room contributing to the growth of mold.

The Disinfecting Process

A solution to the problem exists. However, it must always be remembered that prevention is better than cure. But if a structure is already infected by mold then there is a process that can be followed to red it of the problem. Cleaning the infected area with a little bit of water and bleach mixture and then following a three-step process of disinfection, oxidation, and particulate control.

Aerating the place

Ozone is a natural disinfectant, which reduces bacteria, mold, yeast, and fungi. That outdoor effect can be reproduced indoors with air purification systems. Ozone interacts with moisture and makes small amounts of hydrogen peroxide (also a disinfectant) resulting in a double disinfectant benefit in humid situations and destroying mould.

Apart from fire, ozone is nature's best oxidizer. Burning the possessions and corpses of infected people, for example, can stop epidemics. Smells can be destroyed through burning. This is oxidation in its most extreme. Without the fire, but in the presence of oxygen, smells and rot are cured over a few days. Because as an oxidizer, oxygen is less powerful than ozone and fire but less destructive. Oxidation, whether by fire, oxygen, or ozone, reduces many organics to their sub-components. Therefore having a well-ventilated place can rid the place of mold over time.

Technology at work

Particulate removal by filtration is one way of reducing particulate suspension in an area and removing particulate suspension by ionization is a better way. Filters have limits, and flow patterns develop leaving some places untreated. Air that just passed through a breeding nest of bacteria and mold will only ad to the problem. Here is ionization comes in. Ions start as stable molecules or particles within airspace. As radio waves are emitted by the antenna some of the molecules or particles get charged. These newly charged ions have a magnetic-like attraction to nearby pollutants, which grow heavier finally settling to the floor.

Everybody has at some time or the other has probably heard more about the dangers and costs of mold than they really understand. The risks associated with a mold problem are rot, compromising the structure's durability and the toxic varieties of...

Mold Testing
Mold is a fuzzy cobweb-like growth produced on organic matter by several types of fungi. Mold is also known as mildew although mold is often applied to black, blue, green, and red fungal growths, and mildew to whitish ones. Black bread mould,...

Mold control is a far better option than mold treatment as it consists of simple precautions a homeowner can take to eliminate the possibilities of mold creation, spreading and subsequent damage to home and health. Of primary importance is the...
