"content": "Imagine that at your workplace - you move to new offices and these offices are sited partially below ground level. Within three months of moving into the new offices, every person who works there has started to suffer from symptoms that are consistent with exposure to a water damage buildings and are reacting to the microbes and moulds that are commonly found in these environments. <br /> <br />When the symptoms became unbearable, the office staff started looking for answers. This week on The Mould Show, I'm going to be reviewing the research results that carefully examined each of those office workers to work out two things: <br /> <br />Firstly, was the building contributing something toxic that the workers were being exposed to? And secondly, how could this be best measured by the medical doctors who were involved? <br /><br />This publication looks at whether or not immunosuppression and adverse events can be measured. And if so, how does one go about doing this? This publication appeared on the 21st of January 2022 in the Journal of Fungi: Toxic Indoor Air Is a Potential Risk of Causing Immuno Suppression and Morbidity-A Pilot Study. <br /> <br />What the scientists did was examine both the patient (that is the occupants of the workplace), and they also looked at the building to see what type of toxins and microbes could be detected. <br /><br />The purpose of the research was how to prove causality between the symptoms experienced by the workers and exposure to the toxic indoor air. But the scientists weren't satisfied with just using microbiological technique to measure for mould, because it's well recognized that even though these tests are very sensitive and accurate to measure mould spore levels in the air - they can often miss the breakdown fragments of microbes that grow on water damaged buildings. <br /><br />And therefore, this very exciting research from Finland has implemented a new method to assess toxicity indoors, which looks at collecting condensed indoor air water vapour and test that. Now what does this mean? <br /> <br />Well, essentially, they have devised and patented a method of rapidly collecting water vapor out of the air but again, how did they do this? <br /><br />The Finnish scientists used three toxicity test methods to see how the indoor air might be compromised. The first one was to use THP-1 macrophages. <br /><br />The next type of test they used to assess for toxicity in vitro wants to use baby hamster kidney cells or BHK-21 cells. These are commonly used to study viral infections, but they can also be used to determine the sensitivity to a drug or to a virus. <br /><br />the third type of toxicity assessment the Finnish scientists used was boar sperm. And this is a bio sensor-type test for detecting toxins in indoor dusts and bioaerosols. The reason it works is because sperm are highly dependent on mitochondria for energy, and therefore any drug that can be tested for how it might interfere with motility sheds light on interference with mitochondria. <br /><br />If we drill into one of the key tables in the Finnish research, we find that of course, various different toxins picked up in the mycotoxin screening panel, like Ochratoxin were present in each of the workers who worked in this new office location. But of extreme interest is a new biomarker called Mycophenolic acid, and this also was present in almost all of the individuals who worked in this particular office. <br /><br />Now, you need to remember that because large volumes of indoor air are inhaled every day, this air contains water vapor. And when the relative humidity indoors and temperature increases, the levels of mycotoxins that are inhaled will also increase. So this type of research is contributing cutting edge new knowledge about the different toxins that are being inhaled, along with the more common fungal particulates, like mould spores together with the PM2.5 and PM10 cell wall fragments from fungi. <br /><br />But what about all those people who are working in water damage building interiors? We know if they're being exposed to particulate matter, like mould spores and cell fragments, from typical indoor air quality tests like spore traps, biotape lifts or direct microbiology from the air or surfaces onto Petri plates. But many of the mycotoxins can also be measured in urine? Thanks to this breaking research, there are other, new biomarkers like mycophenolic acid – which is tested from the water vapour indoors. <br /><br />In turn, what do you think the contribution is to adverse health from mycophenolic acid exposure? The Finnish data shows that mycophenolic acid reduces immune function and the other types of in vitro tests showed that macrophages activity is reduced and that mitochondrial activity is increased, but also that bore sperm motility is interfered with. <br /><br />Vaali K, Tuomela M, Mannerström M, Heinonen T, Tuuminen T.

"content": "In Australia, we're currently suffering from torrential rain all along the east coast, affecting Queensland and New South Wales and potentially moving towards Victoria. Regardless of where you're living, unexpected water damage and mould may be a new problem for you to begin dealing with. This live stream and podcast will focus on how to deal with mould and water damage affecting paper documents. We can all imagine sodden books and libraries underwater, but I'll leave that problem for the archivists. This show segment will focus exclusively on how you can deal with mould contamination of paper documents. To do this, I’ll review a recent paper that came out that looked at how to sterilize paper during a crisis. The authors compared two types of sterilization methods called (1) gamma sterilization which uses radiation to perform cold sterilization and (2) dry heat sterilization. Why this paper is interesting is that all of us have access to dry heat using a convection drying oven. <br /><br />The scientists performed several types of tests looking at the efficiency of gamma radiation versus dry heat. They discovered that gamma radiation inactivated 100% of the test organisms, including fungi and gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria but what about the efficacy of dry heat? The scientists looked at three temperatures: 100, 150, and 200 degrees Celsius for 15, 30 or 60 minutes. They also looked at the impact of two different sterilization techniques on the structural integrity of the paper using scanning electron microscopy. When we focus only on fungi, (because bacteria are easier to kill) it was shown that a conservative temperature of 100 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes achieved a 97.1% inactivation. This also had the lowest comparative impact on the paper structure. <br /><br />Obviously, other methods of water damage restoration indoors such as increasing ventilation to provide additional air circulation or the use of a dehumidifier are also valuable methods of dealing with water damage. <br /><br />The take-home message from this paper is that a convection oven can effectively disinfect and nearly sterilize water-damaged papers using a conservative time and temperature of 100 degrees Celcius for 15minutes. <br /><br />I hope this information helps any persons dealing with mould contamination of paper documents.<br /><br />REFERENCES:<br /><br />Alshammari, F.H., Hussein, HA.A.

"content": "Many people ask me the question: can you really get sick from spending time inside a water-damaged property? Or another related question: Does mould really make people sick?

A paper came out at the end of 2021 in the Journal of Hygiene and Infection Control, discussing the situation for a family of five, who developed severe health problems after spending six years inside a water damaged home. Your first reaction might be: why did they stay six years? For many people, this is unavoidable and for this family, it was because it was a new home construction. They battled on trying the get the builder to fix the problems. This case study deep dives into something called building-related illness and explores its relationship with sick building syndrome. <br /><br />The paper is important because it includes an evaluation of the home from an Occupational Hygiene viewpoint as well as the Environmental Medicine perspective. This case study highlights many of the building-specific factors that contributed to water damage and mould as well as the complaint pattern and medical symptoms that were experienced by the children, the mother and the father. <br /><br />The outcome of this case study revealed that until the family changed their place of residence unwanted health complaints persisted. But once they left the father's health symptoms improved after two weeks. The three children took six months to recover and the mother's symptoms went away after 18 months. <br /><br />This paper highlights that long term exposure to mould was the cause of building-related illness.
