Mold
These resources are intended to help Wisconsin residents and professionals understand the impact mold exposure can have on health, how to prevent mold growth, and how to fix indoor mold problems. Mold spores are constantly traveling through the air all around us and can be found both indoors and outdoors. It is not practical to expect a building or home be completely free of mold; however, indoor mold growth can be prevented and controlled. Learn more about mold by exploring important information below. For information on additional indoor air quality issues, please visit our Air Quality Issues webpage.
