Is That Mold?? Or Dew??



Mold is formed up of mold spores, and mold spores can be found living on almost every surface in a building. Now as long as they do not become airborne then we should have no problem. Mold should not form in a building unless there is a moisture problem. If I were you reading thins I would get the moisture content in your house or apartment so you don not get mold. Believe it or not you can be allergic to mold. My dear old neighbor was allergic to the mold in her house and died a few years ago from it. Now for all those who have wondered about the dew in the morning well here is the answer. "Water will condense into droplets depending on the temperature. The temperature at which droplets can form is called the Dew Point. When surface temperature drops, eventually reaching the dew point, atmospheric water vapor condenses to form small droplets on the surface. This process distinguishes dew from those hydrometers (meteorological occurrences of water) which are formed directly in air cooling to its dew point (typically around condensation nuclei) such as fog or clouds. The thermodynamic principles of formation, however, are virtually the same".
