However, these structures can be a threat to humans because they are likely to retain moist air, in which toxic chemicals can spread.The new buildings and hermetically sealed can produce moisture and toxic mold dangerous to health. About two-thirds of the most severe crises â€" and potentially fatal â€" of asthma may be triggered by these fungi, which can also cause serious lung infections.Fungi can also be linked to Parkinson's disease.
