Mycotoxins are toxic chemicals produced by mold and can pose serious health risks, especially in indoor environments. These toxins are a major contributor to chronic Building Related Illness (BRI) because they're often overlooked during typical mold remediation and environmental testing.
What Are Mycotoxins?
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by certain species of mold. Unlike mold spores, mycotoxins are chemical compounds—poisons that persist long after the mold is removed.
Why Traditional Mold Testing Falls Short
Standard mold inspections measure spore counts but do not measure mycotoxins. A home can test "clear" for mold spores but still contain dangerously high levels of mycotoxins.
The Health Impact
Chronic exposure has been linked to respiratory issues, neurological symptoms, immune dysfunction, fatigue, and skin reactions.
The Superstratum Approach
- Detection — LC-MS technology to identify mycotoxins
- Elimination — HE-HOCl and ClO₂ chemistry
- Prevention — Endurance Coating for long-term protection
