Analyses the development of stachybotrys charturum, also known as toxic mould. Contains a simple explanation of what the mould is, and the risk it poses, including cold-like symptoms, rashes and aggravation of asthma. Looks at the insurance implications of claims and emphasises that property professionals will need to inform themselves of this issue, as ignorance will be regarded as no defence against claims (see also X121592).
