Mold cleared in link to serious illness, but respiratory problems an issue
The good news on mold is that there is no evidence linking it to cancer, extreme fatigue or neurological problems, but the bad news is that it can indeed cause enough coughing and wheezing to warrant action at local, state and national levels, a National Academy of Sciences report says. The report says even though it doesn't appear to be linked to the more serious illnesses, mold, or excessive indoor dampness, is a "widespread" problem and the findings should prompt changes in how buildings are designed, constructed and maintained.   The New York Times (free registration) (5/26),   MSNBC (5/25),   The Wall Street Journal (subscription required) (5/26)
