What God has to say about Mold and Mildew in the Holy Bible
The term mold us used interchangeably in the bible as mold, mildew and leprosy. Mold is comparative to mildew.
Mold is also a fungus growth that can cause a break down of organic matter, where as mildew is a superficial coating or diswcoloration of organic matericals such as paper, paint, cloth or even leather and much more.
In Deuteronomy 28:1-2, 15, the folks of Israel were promised blessings for obedience to God's word. They were also told that if they fully obeyed the Lord their God and would carefully follow all of His commands, the Lord thy God promised to set them above all nations on Earth. However, if they did not obey the Lord God and did not carefully obey all of His commands and decrees, curses would come upon them and over take them. So, mold or mildew is seen in Deuteronomy 28: 22 as part of the curse for disobedience. The Lord promised " to strike you with wasting disease, fever and inflamation, scorching heat and drought, blight and mildew which will plague you until you perish". Again, mildew is mentioned by King Solomon in his prayer of dedication of the people as a potential curse and punishment for disobedience in 1 Kings 8: 37: 38. Solomon prays unto god and says " that when famine or plague comes to the land, or blight or mildew, locusts or grasshoppers, or when an enemy besieges them in any of their cities, what ever disaster or disease may come, and when a prayer or plea is made by any of your people of Israel - each one aware of of the afflications of his own heart and spreading out his hands towards this temple, then hear from heaven your dwelling place." The same prayer of dedication is recorded again in 2 Chronicles 6:28 and repeats the curse of mildew. Solomon prays and asks god to forgive and deal with each man according to all he does, since God alone knows the hearts of men.
Again, the people of Israel are found guilty of idolatry and abuse of the righteous and exploitation of the poor. God sends forth judgement upon them and states in Amos 4:9 "Many times I have struck your gardens and vineyards with blight and mildew. Locusts devoured your fig and olive trees, yet you have not trturned to me, declares the Lord."
The People of Israel have suffered from the curse of mildew becasue of their unwillingness to serve God. They are called a rebellious and stiff necked people by God. For they know that the law of God states in Deuteronomy 28 that obedience brings blessings and disobedience brings judgement. Haggai, another prophet of God reveals to us in Haggai 2:17, that God's people are reminded of the punishment they have endured from previous disobedience to God. God states, " I struck all the work of your hands with blight and mildew and hail, yet you did not return to me declares the Lord". During the times of punishment, mold and or mildew was always a part of the curse upon God's people because of its destructive ability.
The Bible, the word of God has specific regulations concerning mold and mildew in the book of Leviticus. These regulations cover clothing, especially clothing of wool, linen, knitted or leather. If the clothing was contaminated it appeared greenish or reddish in coldor. The color indicated that it was a spreading mold and must be shown to the priest. The priest, after examing the material would isolate the item for 7 days. On the seventh day he reexamines the item and if the mold or mildew has spread in the clothing item it is declared a destructive mold or mildew and the priest commanded that the items be washed. After the clothing is washed and it yet again reexamined by the priest. If the mold or mildew has not changed its appearance through washing and isolation, even if it is not spread, it is declared unclean and must be burned with fire. If the reexamination of the clothing shows that the mold has faded after the article has been washed, the contaminated portion of the clothing is torn out. If the mold reappears in the item again, it must be burned with fire. If mold or the mildew does not reappear, the item is to be washed again and it will be clean.
These regulations were given to the children of Israel to maintain cleanliness and holiness. These guidelines provide a formula to maintain a holy life style before god. The command of God before the children of Israel was to "be holy, because I am holy."
Instructions for cleansing from mold and mildew in the word of God were given to Moses and Aaron in the Book of Liviticus. As they were given the land of Canaan asw a possession they were commanded to maintain homes free of mold and mildew. If the owner of a home saw mold or mildew in their home they were commanded to tell the priest. The priest would then order ever thing in the home to be removed to prevent the house hold posessions from being pronouned unclean. The priest then goes into the house to inspect the walls. If the walls were greenish or reddish in color, the priest would order the house to be closed for 7 days. After 7 days the priest would return to do a reinspection. If the priest found that the mold or mildew had spread on the walls then the contaminated wall stones were ordered to be torn out and thrown into an unclean place out side of the city. The remaining inside walls and stones are scraped and washed. The scrapings from the remaining walls are also thrown in an unclean place out side of the city. New stones and plaster are then used to rebuild the walls and plaster the house. If the mold reappears after this has been done, the priest will reinspect the house and officially pronounce the spread of the destructive mold and the house will be officially unclean. Also, anyone who enters unto the house while it is officially closed and sleeps or east in the house during this time is considered unclean until evening and must wash their clothes. The house must be torn down, its stones, timbers and all the plaster. Every part of the house must be removed and taken to an unclean place out side of the city. But, if the priest finds that the mold has not reappeared after new stones and plaster have been used to rebuild the walls, the house will be officially pronounced clean, because the mold is gone.
God's intent is to dwell with his people. In order for God to accomplish this goal, the people and their dwellings must be clean. Mold is destructive and must be brough under control. If not, mold will destroy every place it touches. Therefore, keeping the laws of cleansing given by God is a command, not an option!

Parallel Commentaries
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary14:33-53 The leprosy in a house is unaccountable to us, as well as the leprosy in a garment; but now sin, where that reigns in a house, is a plague there, as it is in a heart. Masters of families should be aware, and afraid of the first appearance of sin in their families, and put it away, whatever it is. If the leprosy is got into the house, the infected part must be taken out. If it remain in the house, the whole must be pulled down. The owner had better be without a dwelling, than live in one that was infected. The leprosy of sin ruins families and churches. Thus sin is so interwoven with the human body, that it must be taken down by death.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
And if the plague come again, and break out in the house,.... In the above signs of it:
after that he hath taken away the stones; which were infected, or ordered them to be taken away:
and after he hath scraped the house; so that there seemed to be no remains of the plague:
and after it is plastered; to prevent if possible any return of it, but in vain.

Stachybotrys chartarum, also called Stachybotrys atra, Stachybotrys alternans or Stilbospora chartarum, is a black mold that produces its conidia in slime heads. It is sometimes found in soil and grain, t . It requires high moisture content in order to grow and is associated with wet gypsum material and There are hundreds of known or suspected mycotoxins, but the list could turn out to be in the thousands. Several have gained some notoriety, for instance Aflatoxin B1 and Satratoxin H. The species of a given genus may produce only one type of toxin (e.g., Aspergillus species, which produce only aflatoxins) or they may produce many (e.g., Penicillium species, which produce more than 100). Sometimes they will fail to produce their toxins in the lab, and sometimes they produce in the lab but not necessarily in the field. In addition to toxins, some molds produce synergizers (sometimes called potentiators) which exaggerate the effect of toxins; one of these synergizers is ethanol. Synergizers may be harmless in themselves. The smell of mold comes from the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by the organism. Opinion differs on whether they are toxic or not. A 1988 study by J. David Miller et al. identified seven VOCs from a culture of Penicillium fellutanum, by GC-MS analysis. They included pentane, heptane, octane, 2 hexanone, and undecane. Over 500 VOCs from various fungi have been identifiedwallpaper. Water Edit

| mold removal Once a site is suspected of being contaminated there is a need to assess the contamination. Often the assessment begins with preparation of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. The historical use of the site and the materials used and produced on site will guide the assessment strategy and type of sampling and chemical analysis to be done. Often nearby sites owned by the same company or which are nearby and have been reclaimed, levelled or filled are also contaminated even where the current land use seems innocuous. For example, a car park may have been levelled by using contaminated waste in the fill. Also important is to consider off site contamination of nearby sites often through decades of emissions to soil, groundwater, and air. Ceiling dust, topsoil, surface and groundwater of nearby properties should also be tested, both before and after any remediation. This is a controversial step as: | |

Ex-situ methods involve excavation of affected soils and subsequent treatment at the surface, In-situ methods seek to treat the contamination without removing the soils. The more traditional remediation approach (used almost exclusively on contaminated sites from the 1970s to the 1990s) consists primarily of soil excavation and disposal to landfill "dig and dump" and groundwater "pump and treat". In situ technologies include Solidification and Stabilization and have been used extensively in the USA. | |

People seeking refuge from flood in Java. ca. 1865–1876.
Flooding of a creek due to heavy monsoonal rain and high tide in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia.
Flash flooding caused by heavy rain falling in a short amount of time.
Dozens of villages were inundated when rain pushed the rivers of northwestern Bangladesh over their banks in early October 2005. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured the top image of the flooded Ghaghat and Atrai Rivers on October 12, 2005. The deep blue of the rivers is spread across the countryside in the flood image.
Floods can also occur in rivers when the flow rate exceeds the capacity of the river channel, particularly at bends or meanders in the waterway. Floods often cause damage to homes and businesses if they are in the natural flood plains of rivers. While riverine flood damage can be eliminated by moving away from rivers and other bodies of water, people have traditionally lived and worked by rivers because the land is usually flat and fertile and because rivers provide easy travel and access to commerce and industry.
Some floods develop slowly, while others such as flash floods, can develop in just a few minutes and without visible signs of rain. Additionally, floods can be local, impacting a neighborhood or community, or very large, affecting entire river basinsSome molds also produce mycotoxins that can pose serious health risks to humans and animals. The term "toxic mold" refers to molds that produce mycotoxins, such as Stachybotrys chartarum, not to all molds.Exposure to high levels of mycotoxins can lead to neurological problems and in some cases death. Prolonged exposure, e.g., daily workplace exposure, can be particularly harmful.
The IICRC S500 provides a specific set of practical standards for water damage restoration. It does not attempt to teach comprehensive water damage restoration procedures, rather it provides the foundation and basic principles of proper restoration practices. Prior to specifying the job scope and procedures, the S500 must be reviewed. This is important so that the individual circumstances of each restoration job is taken into account. Users of the S500 must be in pace with technology and follow all rules and regulations of a country whether it may be federal, state, provincial or local law. Federal, State and local laws might also determine who can do the water damage restoration assessment and who can authorize remediation procedures. In British Columbia (Canada) the Insurance Council of British Columbia has determined that an Insurance Adjuster working for an Insurer (to mitigate a loss or potential loss) can authorize restoration efforts on private property even though it may not be a covered peril; but, the Adjuster is not accountable for the outcome of any restoration effort, even if the Insured party was, or could be, knowingly placed in harms way. Each case of a water damage may be unique and common sense may require deviation from the S500.
Environmentalists are sometimes referred to using informal or derogatory terms such as "greenie" and "tree-hugger".[2]
