The WHO has labelled mould as the great masquerade of the 21st century, highlighting its role in numerous undiagnosed illnesses. The health effects of building-related illnesses, triggered by substances like mould, can now be confirmed through simple blood and urine tests. Links have even been established with diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Recognizing the significant healthcare costs associated with mold, the NHS and the government are implementing stringent new laws to mitigate mold risks. A quick Google search reveals a plethora of misinformation spread by self-proclaimed mold experts lacking proper training.
Mould Masters offers certified expertise in all facets of mold management and control, including risk and hazard assessments, causation analysis, and remediation strategies. While many UK experts advocate for mold elimination, the WHO has indicated that dead mold is 40 times more harmful.
