Which population group should be particularly monitored for mold exposure effects?

Seniors and children should be particularly monitored for mold exposure effects due to their physiological vulnerability. Both of these groups can have underdeveloped or weakened immune systems, which makes them more susceptible to the adverse health effects associated with mold exposure, such as respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and other illnesses.

Children, whose immune systems are still developing, may not only experience more severe health effects from mold exposure due to their small size and higher metabolism but may also have a higher risk of long-term health issues. Seniors often have health conditions that can be exacerbated by mold, as well as a generally weaker immune response. Therefore, monitoring these populations is crucial to prevent and manage the health effects of mold exposure comprehensively.
