[Health risks associated with the environmental presence of toxigenic moulds].

Abstract

This study reviews the occurrence and most common health effect of exposure to moulds in different environment. The short characteristic of chosen toxigenic fungi and the major mycotoxin classes was also presented. Exposure to allergens may cause human disease, including allergic rhinitis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis asthma and sick building syndrome. Moulds also reveal carcinogenic, cytotoxic, and neurotoxic properties.
