What is mold?
Molds are fungi, a group of very common organisms that

found in nature and are carried indoors from the
outside. More than 270 species of mold have been
identified in Canadian homes.
Molds can grow indoors in wet or damp areas, including
wallpaper, ceiling tiles, carpets (especially those with
jute backing), insulation material, wood and drywall.
