Asthma Resources
-

This resource provides a simple checklist residents can follow to inspect their homes for signs of excess moisture and mold growth. CAUTION: When investigating possible mold issues, you may disturb contaminated areas and further spread contamination into the rest of the home. This poses a serious health risk to those with compromised immune systems, asthma, or allergies.

Asthma is a lung disease that affects millions of adults and children, and can be triggered by numerous indoor pollutants such as mold, cockroaches, dust mites, pet dander, and secondhand smoke. There is no cure for asthma, but it can be managed through medication and avoiding allergens that can trigger an attack.
