Then you will wonder whether there is toxic mold growing in your house, too, and whether you should pay someone a great deal of money to come find out."

At least two families have burned their homes to rid themselves of the contamination. Thousands more, including antipollution crusader Erin Brockovich, are suing home builders, landlords and insurers for damages to their property and health."
