No! All three of the basic elements – moisture, food and oxygen — MUST be present to support mold growth. Food sources are plentiful. Typically, wood, fabric, wallpaper, carpet padding paper-faced panels and other similar building products contain sugars and starches, which can support mold growth. In any interior structure, food sources to support mold growth are plentiful. Likewise, it is impossible to eliminate the oxygen source. Today’s HVAC systems efficiently keep air moving throughout the building envelope. Therefore moisture control offers the easiest and best method to eliminate mold growth.
