Mold, Mildew and Indoor Air Quality

There are no state or federal laws or regulations that set minimum standards for indoor air quality, including standards for mold and mildew. Consequently, DHEC does not have the authority to inspect for mold or mildew.

For more information see:

• Indoor Air Quality (DHEC)
• Schools: Indoor Air Quality (DHEC)
• Indoor Air Quality (EPA)
• Mold and Moisture (EPA)
• “Asthma in South Carolina: Common, Costly and Climbing”, DHEC Bureau of Community Health and Chronic Disease Prevention, 2010 (pdf)
