Although molds grows on dead organic matter everywhere in nature, their presence is only visible to the unaided eye when mold colonies grow. Mold also grows in houses and buildings. Anywhere theres moisture left unannounced can create mold. Mold can and will grow anywhere. Dew forms outside in cold mornings because condensation commonly occurs when a vapor is cooled to its dew point. Water vapor will only condense onto another surface when that surface is cooler than the temperature of the water vapor. Soon after the humidity becomes heavy and forms drops of water or liquid over lawns and houses. In buildings and houses the internal air can have a high level of relative humidity due to the activity of the occupants . When this air comes into contact with cold surfaces such as windows and cold walls it can condense, causing dampness. Condensation is change from a gas to a liquid. Some problems that might occur with indoor condensation is that wood furniture and valuables may be ruined because of the moisture. Also if it occurs often, it can create mold and fungi.
