Damp Indoor Spaces and Health (Committee on Damp Indoor Spaces and Health, The National Academies Press, 2004, 370 pages). This is known as the IOM 2004 mold paper. Read the paper.

The 2004 IOM paper (and the 2009 WHO paper) omitted several key research papers from their list of references. To see a list of some of the papers that were omitted, go to our website. 

Prior to this 2004 report, the IOM published two papers on the topic of asthma and indoor air exposures, as follows:

Indoor Allergens: Assessing and Controlling Adverse Health Effects (The National Academies Press, 1993, 321 pages, edited by Andrew M. Pope, Roy Patterson and Harriet Burge). Read the paper.

Stachybotrys chartarum: Cause of Human Disease or Media Darling? (Medical Mycology, 2003; 41: 271-291). Read the paper.

The National Academies published the Instititute of Medicine 2004 (IOM 2004) report titled "Damp Indoor Spaces and Health." As discussed above, under "Institute of Medicine," the IOM 2004 report was inadequate and has been ridiculed and critiqued many times.

In fact, "inclusion bias" has been raised multiple times by researchers, clinicians and litigators with regard to publications put forth by the IOM, ACOEM, AAAAI and other industry-linked and industry-funded naysayers/deniers.

In 2022, 18 years later, the National Academies published another inadequate and flawed report. This new report, titled "Why Indoor Chemistry Matters," is 192 pages. They included the words mold and mycotoxins only a couple times and never mention the health effects. So, this paper is actually weaker than the one they published in 2004. Read the paper.

The National Academies' so-called experts are clearly not up to date with the scientific literature and are out of touch with the scientific community's view of these issues.

NIEHS is a division of the NIH (National Institutes of Health), which is a part of the U.S. Health and Human Services agency.

On the NIEHS website, they say that “inhalation is considered the primary way that people are exposed to mold,” but “molds are generally not harmful to health humans.” 

So, they admit that inhalation is the primary route of these exposures, but then they say that molds are generally not harmful.

"The U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform, partnering with the Center for Legal Policy of the Manhattan Institute, commissioned two papers that take a close look at mold litigation and the science of mold. The first, by Cliff Hutchinson and Robert Powell, two experienced litigators with Hughes and Luce in Dallas and Austin, provides a legal perspective on mold claims. The second, written by a team of scientists led by Dr. Bryan Hardin, former Deputy Director of NIOSH and former Assistant Surgeon General in the Public Health Service, addresses the scientific evidence."
