Sometimes, humidity or dampness (water vapor) in the air can supply enough moisture for mold growth. Indoor relative humidity (RH) should be kept below 60 percent -- ideally between 30 percent and 50 percent, if possible. Low humidity may also discourage pests (such as cockroaches) and dust mites.
It's not the mold spores in the air so much as the concentration of these spores that cause the grief. Spring and fall are the prime mold count seasons, at least in this area (greater Chicagoland area), but that can change based upon rain patterns and temperature differential.ut water and cellulose together and add some mold spores (the seeds that mold grows from) and give it some time, and you will have mold growth. Mold spores are everywhere because mold is a natural part of the environment. The key is to not give the mold spores time to grow and rise to harmful levels.
