How do you get exposed to mold?

People are exposed to molds every day and everywhere, at home, at work, at school, both indoors and out.

Inhalation is considered the primary way that people
are exposed to mold. Mold spores and fragments can become airborne and get into the air we breathe. People may also be exposed to mold through the skin. Workers should be properly protected with safety equipment when remediating, or cleaning up mold after. In some cases, people may be exposed to mold through their diet.
