Mike Henderson, a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency environmental evaluation official, has arrived in Picayune to begin examining buildings that may have molds that are dangerous to building occupants.

Henderson said the mold everyone hears about is a particular strain of black mold that is especially toxic. However, any molds in large enough quantities can cause serious health problems for children, the elderly; the immune impaired such as cancer patients, transplant recipients and others; asthmatics and others with respiratory diseases, and the chronically ill.

“With a lot of mold present, anyone can be affected, though,” he said.

“I can help with recommendations to correct the problem and get them up and running again,” Henderson said.

He warned that testing could take several weeks but that the priorities are first public buildings such as schools and churches and other places where large groups of people congregate. Materials collected from buildings suspected of being infected with dangerous molds are sent to national independent laboratories for testing.
