Medical & Professional Disclaimer

Last updated: July 2026

Note: This is a general disclaimer template written in plain language. The owner of Monitor My Air should have it reviewed by a qualified lawyer before relying on it.

Please read this carefully. It explains what Monitor My Air is for — and, just as importantly, what it is not.

We provide general education

Monitor My Air exists to help you understand your home, your air, and your health in plain English. Our content is general education. It's meant to help you ask better questions and know what to look into next — not to replace a professional who can look at your specific situation.

Not medical advice

Nothing on Monitor My Air is a medical diagnosis, medical advice, or treatment. We are not doctors, and using our library, community, or consulting does not create a doctor-patient relationship. If you have symptoms or health concerns, please see a licensed clinician. Don't delay or ignore professional medical advice because of something you read here.

Not a professional inspection or remediation service

Our content is not a professional home inspection, mold remediation, environmental testing, or engineering service. For work on your home, hire a qualified, licensed professional who can assess your property in person.

What the science does — and doesn't — say

Here's where we try to be especially honest, because a lot of the internet isn't:

• There is established science linking damp and moldy indoor environments to respiratory problems — things like coughing, wheezing, and worsening asthma. Fixing moisture and mold is genuinely worth taking seriously.
• However, claims that mold causes autoimmune disease, or that a distinct illness called "mold illness" or "CIRS" (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) exists, are not medically established. These ideas are widely promoted online but are not accepted as proven medicine.
• If you're feeling unwell, the responsible path is to see a licensed clinician and rule out conventional causes first. A real diagnosis usually explains more than a trendy label does.

We share this not to dismiss what you're feeling — it's real — but because you deserve accurate information to make good decisions.

Always follow professional and safety guidance

When you take action in your home, always follow the guidance of qualified professionals and the safety instructions from product and equipment manufacturers. Use protective equipment as directed and don't attempt work that's beyond your skill or safety level.

In an emergency

If you or someone else is having a medical emergency — trouble breathing, chest pain, or any life-threatening symptom — call your local emergency services right away. Don't rely on this website in an emergency.
