Toxic Mold
Our Lawyers Recognize Your Rights Have Been Violated If You Have Been Exposed to Toxic Mold
There are standards, imposed by both building industries and legal code, for how air quality is to be maintained in any occupied space, business or residential. Unfortunately, negligence on the part of those responsible for maintaining these standards can lead to occupants being exposed to toxic mold; this is sometimes referred to as "sick building syndrome," or by its scientific name, mycotoxin exposure.
Mycotoxin exposure can lead to serious health conditions, particularly in those whose repertory systems are already compromised, such as an asthma sufferer. In a toxic mold exposure case, mold spores enter the body through the repertory system, as occupants breathe in contaminated air circulated by air conditioning and/or heating vents. Sometimes, it is not circulated, but isolated to a specific room or area.
Many symptoms of mycotoxin exposure relate to the repertory system, including shortness of breath, prolonged nose and throat irritation, and lung congestion. It can also cause eyes to water, with accompanying burning sensation. Other symptoms include:
- Fever
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Fever and related flu-like symptoms
