Microbial Growth
Dartmouth's Microbial Growth Program
Damp indoor environments caused by water leaks, floods, or high humidity can lead to the growth of mold and other microbial organisms. Uncontrolled mold and microbial growth and exposure to building dampness can be associated with respiratory symptoms. For people who are sensitive to microbial growth, exposure can cause symptoms such as nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, wheezing, or skin irritation.
If you see or suspect mold growth in your building, report it to FO&M through the work order system.
Contact EHS at 603-646-1762 if you have health concerns about mold and microbial growth.
