With the increased rainfall and flooding in the Eastern States, and subsequent mould issues that have resulted from this, it is timely that enHealth have recently released a straightforward factsheet on mould for use nationally – it can be downloaded here - enHealth Mould Factsheet.
The fact sheet was produced in response to the recommendations of the Report on the Inquiry into Biotoxin-related Illnesses in Australia, published in 2018.
It’s a very clear explanation of what mould is, the effects of mould on health, cleaning and testing for mould and how to minimise your exposure, and is great for forwarding to clients and tenants who need a simple guide for themselves about mould issues and what to do if they are concerned.
