Toxic Mould and water damage

Please note that much of the following information is from the USA. This is because the American public, insurers, the legal profession and government agencies are more aware of the health issues from mould. The UK have unfortunately ignored these issues and generally make buildings tighter with less air changes to save energy, thereby encouraging the development of mould and consequential health issues. Although the links provided are considered to be balanced and include government information we accept no responsibility for accuracy or your actions.It should be recognised that many stakeholders have vested interest in downplaying the health hazards and often their liability of water damage and mould.The following links should remove any doubt!
