Many maintenance and engineering managers have begun to fully comprehend the potential ramifications of mold for indoor air quality (IAQ). These ramifications can manifest themselves as damaged building materials, degraded IAQ, sick building symptoms, and potential lawsuits.
Mold commonly occurs in most organic building materials. It is common to see lichens, or mold, growing on the top exterior surface of roofs, within wet organic roof insulation boards, and on wet wood nailers, interestingly enough on both treated and non-treated materials. The one thing that all these surfaces have in common is that they are are above the roof deck and, therefore, have minimal impact on IAQ.
