Episode 29: What is Mould?

In this episode host Mark Reggers discusses the subject matter of mould with guest Kevin White. Kevin is the Principal Consultant for Greencap’s WHS team in Western Australia. Mould is part of a group of organisms called fungi. It is present almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors and mould spores are commonplace in many households and workplaces. Many different types of mould exist, and when present in large quantities have the potential to cause a range of both short term and chronic health problems, ranging from allergic reactions through to respiratory problems and even organ failure.
