Mould in buildings is currently a topic of considerable interest, although the relationship between moulds and human health is not yet well-understood.
Moulds are everywhere and are widely used for beneficial purposes in the food industry, in medicine and in science.

 Mould
Moulds are simple, microscopic fungi that grow on the surfaces and crevices of objects such as wood, carpeting, and cellulose-based objects including drop-down ceiling panels and drywall.
Mould and people have co-existed for thousands of years, and most individuals have developed a tolerance to mold exposure.

 Water mould - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Water moulds or Oomycetes are a group of filamentous protists, physically resembling fungi.
Instead, water moulds are related to organisms such as brown algae and diatoms, making up a group called the heterokonts.
Among the water moulds, these are produced as asexual spores called zoospores, which capitalize on surface water (including precipitation on plant surfaces) for movement.

 Slime mould - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Slime moulds (or slime molds in American English) are peculiar protists that normally take the form of amoebae, but under certain conditions develop fruiting bodies that release spores, superficially similar to the sporangia of fungi.
Most notable are the plasmodial slime moulds or myxogastrids (also known as acellular or true slime moulds), where the feeding stage takes the form of a giant amoeba with thousands of nuclei, called a plasmodium.
Slime moulds were originally considered fungi by mycologists and amoebae by zoologists, respectively classified as Myxomycetes (slime fungi) or Mycetozoa (fungus animals).

Moulds that contain certain mycotoxins are occasionally referred to as “toxic”, based, in part, on a small number of case reports alleging a link between exposure to such moulds and adverse health effects.
Where fungi or mould are not specifically included on a list of contaminants or pollutants, it may be instructive to note that the EPA has referred to mould as a “biological contaminant” and a “pollutant”.

Mould's own bass playing is unlikely to banish Greg Norton, Tony Maimone or David Barbe from the history books, but it easily serves its purpose well enough to justify the indulgence.

Mould growth in buildings and the possible adverse health impact on occupants has emerged as one of most pressing health and safety issues of the day.
Mould spores will always be present in buildings, whether blown in through windows or other openings, brought in by ventilation equipment, or tracked in with dust and dirt.
Note that mould spores will be present in all settled dust in such a facility so that a risk of infection is present even if there is no visible mould growth.

 CEH No.46 Mould In Optical Instruments   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
In countries where the conditions for mould growth are optimum, mould is often seen on the outside surfaces of optical instruments such as the eyepiece and objective lens surfaces.
Mould on internal surfaces may be seen through the instrument if it is close to a focal plane, but usually it is only evident by reduced light transmission or reduced image quality caused by scattering or absorption of light in the mould mycelia.
A growing mould mycelium produces organic acids which etch the glass surface with minute grooves, leaving behind a print of the mould network (Figure 2) and, as optical components cannot be resurfaced economically, the instrument is then destroyed.

 Bob Mould - PopMatters Concert Review
Bob Mould first stunned fans of his seminal '80s trio Husker Du when he turned down the amps on his 1989 solo debut Workbook, which was a mostly acoustic-leaning, string-laden collection of songs.
During interviews promoting the album, Mould explained that "Megamanic" was born as a result of boredom setting in during the recording sessions.
Hearing Mould's voice compared to his live vocals 10 years ago is one of the best endorsements to quit smoking that the American Lung Association could wish for, as he is now more a singer and less a screamer.

Longtime fans of the Flying V and the sonic boom could be outraged at Mould betraying his legacy with what they'll perceive as a techno version of "I Was Made For Loving You".
Press kits and biographies will impress upon readers that Mould's lasting legacy is his part in founding and shaping the fast hard rules of the alternative rock nation, giving voice to a thousand grudging young would-be millionaires that have long since disappeared into cut-out bins.

 Bob Mould Strums The 'Body' Electric
When Mould decided to put a band together, Canty was an obvious choice, though the drummer had to do some serious iPod listening to familiarize himself with those Husker Du and Sugar oldies.
Although Mould is reconnecting to band versions of his Husker Du material, don't expect that band to reunite in the manner of such similarly contentious '80s groups as the Pixies and Dinosaur Jr.
Mould is clearly more comfortable with his new bandmates, who include Jason Narducy of Chicago's Verbow on bass (Mould produced that band's 1997 album, "Chronicles") and Maryland-based dance music artist and remix producer Richard Morel on keyboards.

Entirely self-written, -performed, and -produced, the 11-song collection opens with Mould bellowing that he's "sick of myself, sick of everything I am" and ends with: "If I couldn't hold you I'd end it all." That last song is called "Roll Over and Die," if that helps provide a sense of the situation.
No matter how many times Mould insists he's "as useless as can be," and that what he creates is "bullshit," the urgency of such cathartic music argues to the contrary.
Even if Bob Mould's eponymous album (hubcap) was recorded without a band, this is still a very inspired and driving album that shows you that no matter how limited you are in resources, you can still pack a punch.

He says the most effective way to deal with mould is to remove it, and that means disposing of affected drywall, wood framing and carpeting.
Topical mould, such as that on windowsills or on bathroom grout, is not serious and can be cleaned by the homeowner.
Because mould often grows where it can't be seen, often the only way to determine if it is present is to have an indoor air quality inspection.

AIM is a proprietary multi-functional injection mould with interchangeable inserts, used on conventional injection moulding machines and capable of producing plastic specimens for quality tests according to international standards.
This is remarkable, as the majority of persons interviewed indicated that there is a great need for such a standard, both by the polymer industry as well as with the end user, to provide the industry with uniform generated data to improve the exchange and comparison of two-shot materials characteristics and behaviour.
Furthermore the mould should fit on standard 2 shot moulding machines in the range of 80 up to 150 Tons, and adapted the different injection unit settings as currently available in the industry.
