Black mold and office health?


We've just discovered a mold problem in one of the offices. The books are covered in a white mold - but there is also black mold growing on the ceiling. This is what we can see....

Our staff has been suffering from burning eyes, coughs, sneezing, etc. for a few weeks now. Basically, allergy symptoms - but now I am wondering if this is the Toxic Mold we've been hearing about. If it is, how safe is it to remain in the office? What are the health risks?

Without being able to see it, it would be really hard to tell what variety of mold it may be. I would recommend checking with your local health department to find out what type of mold it is..... but be aware that if it is toxic mold, they may shut down your office while it's cleaned out.
