Image Library - Magnified Mold
The image library contains mold-related images in seven categories: mold in the environment; magnified mold; moisture and moisture damage; prevention; mold in buildings; finding mold and moisture; and cleaning and remediation. There are also animated images that you can choose to view and download.
Each photo has a high-resolution version. To download a higher resolution version of a photo, click on the thumbnail. When the window opens, right click and choose whether you want to copy or save the photo. If saving, a dialogue box will appear so you can specify where to save the photo.
These photos may be used for presentations and educational purposes without contacting EPA -- please see EPA's Privacy and Security Notice for more information.
