The NYT ventures to mention the word "toxic" in a story about mold. "One hint to residents affected by water damage from Sandy: wallboard with paper facing is a prime conduit for mold and should be avoided in reconstruction projects. When water-soaked, the paper is a breeding ground for Stachybotrys chartarum, the black mold suspected of exercising toxic health effects on humans, especially infants and persons with compromised immune systems. A safer option, Mr. Sothern said, is cement board or gypsum board faced with fiberglass." nytimes/2013/05/05/realestate/bill-sothern-remediates-mold-and-other-hazards.html?adxnnl=1&ref=science&adxnnlx=1368717000-fr%2FrOwV06jDfa3PHbSMz7Q
