What are Mycotoxins & Why Test for Them?

Mycotoxins are dangerous compounds released by certain molds. They are invisible, & can inhabit a home long after mold has been treated or remediated. They are harmful to humans, causing serious health issues ranging from neurological disorders to arthritis to cancer.

It is vital to know what mycotoxins you have been exposed to and if this exposure is taking place in your home. Research suggests mycotoxins are far more detrimental to our health than previously understood. On a positive note, treatments and solutions are available if mycotoxins are found within the property.

Enviropro’s Mycotoxin Testing Service Includes:

Water Damage Inspection

We perform a non-invasive visual examination of the property’s water sources and areas affected by prior leaks.

Collecting Samples

We will determine which areas to collect samples from in order to identify the presence of mycotoxins.
