Abstract

Mold contamination is a growing concern for homeowners in terms of both physical health and insurance. Health experts, although they concede that exposure to mold can cause respiratory illnesses, are calling for further research into other mold-related health effects and for development of standards for mold sampling and data analysis. The insurance industry is grappling with how---and whether---to provide coverage for household damage caused by mold, while some state and federal legislators are working to pass laws regarding mold testing and insurance.
