对于家中出现霉菌，我们似乎早已习以为常，也不会特别在意，但殊不知这些霉斑却是潜藏的健康杀手。 在美国的Daytona州立大学中，其中一栋大楼因为检验出室内霉菌超标，而遭勒令暂停使用，以进行全面消毒与整治工作，直到明年春季才能重新启用。 根据新闻报道，在这栋30岁楼龄的大楼内，有16间办公室的霉菌指数严重超标。 根据美国2010年工业规范室内空气素质，可接受的霉菌浓度为1,000 cfu/m3（菌落數/立方公尺）。 新闻指出，Daytona州立大学的这栋大楼内，其中两个办公室的霉菌浓度超过10,000，其中一间甚至高达27,000。 Wayne Restoration and Engineering私人有限公司负责人Kuan You Wai表示，一般健康人都不会受霉菌影响，但抵抗能力疲弱、患有绝症以及孕妇与小孩，就会受霉菌影响。 一般健康的人，在霉菌浓度超过30,000的情况下，才会出现不良反应，但是，免疫能力不佳的人，即使室内霉菌浓度只有3,000都会被感染。 他说：“简而言之，若你在室内空间看到霉斑，最好还是及早消毒整治，避免霉菌扩散蔓延，以致无法收拾的局面。此外，室内湿度控制也很重要，温湿的室内情况，将助长霉菌生长。” 霉菌感染症状 霉菌感染可能出现的症状包括喷嚏连连、鼻子敏感且流鼻水、咳嗽、眼睛红痒、喉咙不适以及皮肤干燥痕痒。 对于哮喘病患者，高浓度的霉菌会让病患呼吸苦难以及胸口紧闷。 对于免疫能力不佳者，长期曝露在高浓度霉菌环境下，可能会引致特发性肺纤维化(Pulmonary Fibrosis)，严重者甚至会罹患肺癌。 Kuan表示，针对小范围的霉斑，住户可以自行用消毒水清理，但切记过程必须戴上口罩与手套，避免吸入霉菌或让伤口感染霉菌。 在消毒后，必须将表面搽拭干净，确保室内通风，让表层尽快风干，如此才能防止霉菌再生。 至于一些易于滋长霉菌的质料，如地毯及天花板瓷砖，Kuan建议一旦发现霉斑，最好以塑胶袋包起后丢弃，因为一般消毒方式无法完全杀灭霉菌。 如果对于室内空气素质存有质疑，他建议个人寻找专业人士协助，以特别仪器检测室内霉菌浓度，确保不危害人体健康。 英文版全文已于2018年11月16日的EdgeProp.
