El moho crece a partir de las esporas, que se encuentran naturalmente en el aire y no se pueden ver a simple vista. Las esporas de moho actúan como semillas, haciendo que el moho crezca si las condiciones son adecuadas. El moho suele ser fácil de detectar. Aunque es posible utilizar pruebas para determinar la presencia de moho, por lo general no es necesario o recomendado hacerlo, usted puede detectar el moho rápidamente usando su vista y olfato.
Tenga en cuenta que las primeras señales de moho pueden ser el desarrollo de síntomas similares a los de una alergia. Si detecta un exceso de humedad o un olor a humedad, pero no ve moho, asegúrese de revisar detrás de los gabinetes y el papel tapiz, y debajo de las alfombras. Estos son escondites comunes para el moho. Realice una inspección completa de su hogar utilizando la Lista de Verificación de Humedad y Moho de UGA.
La clave para controlar el moho es eliminar la fuente del problema de la humedad.

Operating a chainsaw is inherently dangerous. Chainsaw cuts are always serious, but this is not the only hazard a saw operator faces. Saw operators are often struck by falling limbs and trunks as the tree moves during felling. Saw operators may fall off ladders or out of trees, or they may trip while moving through brush and uneven ground. Even when the tree is on the ground, danger lurks in wood under tension. Spring poles snap and logs roll unexpectedly. Personal protective equipment (PPE) saves lives every day. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that saw operators wear the PPE described in this publication, including head protection, eye protection, ear protection, chainsaw chaps or pants, and suitable footwear.

Simple steps can stop preventable accidents in the laundry room. Laundry packets are used by millions of consumers and households each year and contain a highly-concentrated, pre-measured dose of detergent.
