The NAA’s position on mold is consistent with current research and
facts regarding mold exposure and does not embrace the junk
science associated with the black toxic mold hysteria. With
frivolous litigation a real danger for multifamily operators, it
is reassuring that the Chamber of Commerce document and many
others are finding their way into the courts.

It is time that the hysteria surrounding “black toxic mold” cease.
It is also time for those pushing the black toxic mold agenda wake
up and embrace the facts as well.
