According to Google Trend data, searches for “household mold” and related terms have grown in popularity over the last five years; examples include “mold toxicity symptoms,” up 170 percent, and “professional black mold removal,” up 250 percent.

You can buy a mold test kit at a store, but the Centers for Disease Control warns that a reliable sample is expensive, and there are no set standards for acceptable quantities of different types of mold in the home.

Dr. Nosanchuk acknowledged that molds can be dangerous, but also defended them. “They give us cheese, they give beer, they give L.S.D. — they do a lot of really cool things.”

There is biological plausibility for an association of health outcomes with ventilation rates, although the literature does not provide clear evidence on particular agent(s) for the effects. Higher ventilation rates in offices, up to about 25 l/s per person, are associated with reduced prevalence of sick building syndrome (SBS) symptoms. “}}
