Beschrijving

ERVs (Energy Recovery Ventilators) are popular for improving indoor air. When it comes to crawlspaces, they can do more harm than good when used to dry a crawlspace out. In this episode, I explain why using an ERV to dry a crawlspace is a flawed strategy that can make moisture and mold problems worse — and what you might do instead. You'll learn: * Why ERVs can introduce humidity instead of removing it * The science behind moisture control in unconditioned spaces * Smarter strategies for drying crawlspaces (that actually work) Crawlspace issues can be complex.

Yes- All Molds Can Produce Mycotoxins — Why That Matters

In this episode of Mold Money, Daniel Stih breaks down a controversial, scientifically sound truth: all molds have the potential to produce mycotoxins, not just a few that "toxic" species. Learn why the common belief that only certain molds are dangerous is misleading and leads to false assumptions. This is a problem when people find mycotoxins in their urine and try to trace them back to specific molds in their home, something that can not be done that way. Daniel clarifies what he means by "potential" and "toxic", when and why molds produce mycotoxins. Whether you're a practitioner, inspector, or dealing with chronic mold symptoms, this episode will help you think clearly, test intelligently, and avoid myths that cost people their health, time and money.
