While the commission did not deny the presence of mold, it argued that evacuation was unnecessary.<\/p>\n<p>The sheriff and commission each had different third parties analyze and make recommendations based on the mold situation.<\/p>\n<p>The county\u2019s contractor, Environmental Materials Consultants, said individuals in the jail should have PPE such as masks, but did not call for evacuation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMold is present in most environments around the world,\u201d the report states. \u201cThere are thousands of types of mold with many types of subspecies. Everyone is exposed to molds spores in office buildings, stores, restaurants, in their homes and every day in the natural environment. The types of mold identified at the time of this assessment are very typical and extremely common for most indoor air environments, especially in Alabama. Most individuals with healthy immune systems do not exhibit health concerns or reactions under certain conditions and where spore counts stay within a normal or average range.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<div class=\"zox-post-ad-wrap\"><span class=\"zox-ad-label\">Advertisement.
