What is one of the main concerns with porous materials during mold remediation?

They can be cleaned easily without special equipment
Mold does not grow in porous materials
Some mold spores may remain but will not grow if dried
They are always safe to leave untreated

The correct answer is: Some mold spores may remain but will not grow if dried

The main concern with porous materials during mold remediation is that while some mold spores may be removed during the cleaning process, it is possible for spores to remain trapped in the material. Even if these spores are not actively growing at the moment, conditions that promote moisture can cause them to reactivate and proliferate, leading to further mold issues. Porous materials, such as wood, drywall, and fabrics, have tiny openings that can harbor mold spores, making complete remediation challenging. Understanding this concern is crucial for effectively addressing mold problems, as remediation efforts must consider not only the visible removal of mold but also the potential for hidden spores to cause future growth. Proper practices may involve more than just cleaning; they could include replacing materials or applying treatments designed to inhibit future mold growth.
