Mold Removal Safety
You should avoid breathing in mold or mold spores and if you have health problems, you should consult with your doctor before engaging in any kind of mold cleanup.
Wear a Respirator or Mask. To avoid breathing in airborne mold spores, wear a respirator or mask when cleaning up mold. The EPA recommends a properly fitting N-95 respirator, which is available at many hardware stores and from companies that advertise on the Internet. These N-95 respirators cost about $12 to $25. Some resemble a paper dust mask with a nozzle on the front, while others are made primarily of plastic or rubber and have removable cartridges that trap most of the mold spores from entering. These respirators are not effective if they do not fit properly.
