Moisture Is the Cause of Odors & Mold — Not Insulation

The key to mold control is moisture control.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

Updated Guidance: 2023–2024

Why it matters: Federal authority on indoor air quality and moisture

EPA confirms that odors and mold result from moisture, not from insulation or plastic materials.

Insulation does not create smells; moisture enables biological growth.
