Bacteria Removal
​

Bacterial contamination in water-damaged buildings has been identified as a potential cause of health problems, including infection and respiratory conditions like asthma. Which specific bacteria contribute to these problems, however, has been unknown — making it difficult for public health officials to develop tools to effectively address the underlying source of the problem.

in a new study, a University of Cincinnati environmental health research team found evidence linking two specific strains of bacteria — Stenotrophomonas and Mycobacterium — to indoor mold from water damage. The severity of this is dependent on the magnitude of the water damage, as well as the amount of time the water damage has been present.
