Mold - Interim Relief           If it’s going to be a while before you can clean up the mold here are some things you can do to contain the mold and protect your health:           Do not run the air conditioner or forced-air heater. It may spread mold from areas of contamination to areas where there is none. If it is a small area, carefully cover the visible mold with plastic. Cut up a trash bag and secure it over the mold with duck-tape being very careful to not disturb the mold. Use a HEPA room air purifier. Filter air cleaners, even 90% efficient filters, have shown promise as a supplemental control measure.1. Ozone air purifiers and filter-less type air purifiers do not help. These are discussed in detail in other chapters. Don’t bother with these. You must use a HEPA type air purifier.               Back to top                            Copyright © 2014-2017 Healthy Living Spaces LLC.  All rights reserved.   877-992-9904 Revised: July 05, 2017.
