The hazard of mould contamination in buildings has emerged as one of the most prominent public health issues of the late 1990’s. From leaky condominiums in British Columbia to flooded homes in Manitoba and mouldy schools in Newfoundland, what was once treated as a nuisance, many occupants now consider a risk to their health.
