Mold allergies are present in a minority of the population that is genetically predisposed to mold, and usually this allergy is not life threatening. Black molds, or so called toxic molds, can ...
Molds isolated following flooding were different from mold previously reported for non-water damaged homes in the area. [19] Further research found that homes with greater than three feet of indoor flooding demonstrated significantly higher levels of mold than those with little or no flooding. [19]
True wheat allergies are very rare; it is estimated to effect 0.1%-2.2% of individuals depending on region. [60] The allergy does not commonly persist into adolescence. Gluten-free foods are safer for wheat allergic patients but they still may theoretically contain wheat's other allergenic proteins. [61]
During mold remediation in the U.S., the level of contamination dictates the protection level for remediation workers. [26] Contamination levels have been enumerated as I, II, III, and IV: [citation needed] Level I: Small, isolated areas (10 square feet (0.93 m 2) or less); remediation may be conducted by trained building staff;
The Food Defect Action Levels: Levels of Natural or Unavoidable Defects in Foods That Present No Health Hazards for Humans is a publication of the United States Food and Drug Administration's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition [1] detailing acceptable levels of food contamination from sources such as maggots, thrips, insect fragments, "foreign matter", mold, rodent hairs, and insect ...
A team of AccuWeather forecasters, led by Senior Meteorologist Alan Reppert, took a deep dive into forecast data, weather patterns and climate research to forecast what the fast-approaching ...
Cladosporium cladosporioides occurs outdoor environments year-round with peak spore concentration in the air occurring in summer where levels can range from 2,000 spores up to 50,000 spores per cubic meter of air. [16] It is among the most common of all outdoor airborne fungi, [16] colonizing plant materials and soil. [14]
A pollen count is a measurement of the number of pollen grains in a given volume of air. Pollen counts, and forecasts of pollen conditions, are routinely produced and reported to the public because high aerial pollen concentration is associated with increased rates of allergic reaction for those with conditions such as hay fever and asthma.
