Abstract:
Many different fungi grow indoors as mold in the presence of moisture. Some of these fungi can cause allergic or toxic reactions, while a few may cause infections in susceptible individuals. A comprehensive treatment of this complex topic would take volumes, but this article provides a synopsis for engineers to help clarify the mysteries of indoor mold growth.
