because from a toxicological perspective, the available scientific evidence does not provide any compelling data to conclude that they pose significant health risks via inhalation in these settings...11/12

American College of Medical Toxicology @acmtmedtox.bsky.social · Aug 14

ACMT recommends that public health responses to damp indoor spaces be based upon what is known and generally accepted with respect to their association with allergic disease. Public health responses should not be solely based upon the presence of fungi or mycotoxins...10/12

American College of Medical Toxicology @acmtmedtox.bsky.social · Aug 14

Exposure modeling studies have concluded that even in moldy environments, the maximum inhalation dose of mycotoxins is generally orders of magnitude lower than demonstrated thresholds for adverse health effects. 9/12

American College of Medical Toxicology @acmtmedtox.bsky.social · Aug 14

With respect to mycotoxins in indoor air, these compounds are large, complex molecules that are not volatile and their concentrations in indoor and outdoor air are exceedingly low...8/12

American College of Medical Toxicology @acmtmedtox.bsky.social · Aug 14

The vast majority of scientific data on the adverse health effects of mycotoxins is derived from their presence as natural and unavoidable contaminants of foods and beverages that are consumed as part of a healthy diet. 7/12

American College of Medical Toxicology @acmtmedtox.bsky.social · Aug 14

ACMT emphasizes the importance of distinguishing exposure to mycotoxins from exposure to the fungi that are capable of producing them. Toxigenic fungi and mycotoxins are not synonymous hazards. 6/12

American College of Medical Toxicology @acmtmedtox.bsky.social · Aug 14

ACMT believes that an improved understanding of the role of mycotoxins in damp indoor spaces should begin by acknowledging that both fungi and their mycotoxin products are ubiquitous in the outdoor environment...5/12

American College of Medical Toxicology @acmtmedtox.bsky.social · Aug 14

While the allergic effects of fungi are well-summarized in these reports, there are still a number of misperceptions relating to mycotoxins or other chemicals produced by certain species of fungi, and their role in adverse health effects from exposures... 4/12

American College of Medical Toxicology @acmtmedtox.bsky.social · Aug 14

ACMT agrees with NAM and other orgs. in recognition that damp indoor spaces present health risks to humans, in association with allergic mechanisms resulting from fungi, dust mites, bacteria, cockroaches, and possibly other antigens that proliferate in moist environments. 3/11

ACMT reaffirms its support & endorsement of the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) report on Damp Indoor Spaces and Health. ACMT is updating this position statement to reflect and incorporate recent studies while providing a best-practice approach from a Med Tox perspective. 2/12
