Sometimes, humidity or dampness (water vapor) in the air can supply enough moisture for mold growth. Indoor relative humidity (RH) should be kept below 60 percent -- ideally between 30 percent and 50 percent, if possible. Low humidity may also discourage pests (such as cockroaches) and dust mites.
In comparison, the 33% moisture bales resulted in over 1,200 HDD and the extremely high maximum temperature likely killed some of the mold, resulting in a lower amount of mold for this treatment compared to the 17 and 21% moisture bales (Figure 4).
