Nick,
Plants and Indoor Air Quality.
Good article, but have a question. The other side of the coin.
The soil can have mold or mold can be caused by heavy moisture that
can be associated with plants.

The way I understand, that considered toxic mold does not naturally grow in plant soils.

Now I have seen in cases of my clients' homes or buildings, one was a grade school, that the over flow from over watering plants has caused considered toxic mold growth on building materials.
