Asthma therapy
Ray Copes, director of the environmental health division at the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, says the moisture and humidity associated with growing marijuana indoors creates an ideal climate for mould growth.
'If there's mould or moisture, there are a number of health effects that are associated with that,' Copes said.
'Probably the most common finding is an increase in common respiratory symptoms such as coughing, wheezing or exacerbation of asthma when you look at people who live in damp or mouldy homes with visible mould growth, compared with folks who live in homes that don't have dampness or visible mould.'
But mould is not isolated to homes that have been used for marijuana-growing operations.
Copes said it is estimated that as many as one-third of Canadian homes have mould growth caused by leaks, flooding or dampness. And while it is important to take measures to remove the mouldy materials from the home, he notes that no home will ever be entirely mould-free.
'Moulds are ubiquitous. They're found everywhere in nature,' he said
