At the higher end of the scale 25 percent of firefighters earned better than $28.90 per hour or $60,120 per year, and 10 percent reported earning $36.31 or more per hour, or $75,520 per year. It would seem logical to assume that the lowest-paid firefighters in the bureau's survey were those in entry-level positions.
Stachybotrys chartarum. Sometimes called S. chartarum or Stachybotrys atra, and popularly known as black mold, this toxigenic mold is a greenish-black fungus that requires a moist environment in which to grow and is most commonly found in flood-damaged buildings.
The most common types of mold include aspergillus, cladosporium and stachybotrys atra (also known as black mold). Aspergillus is a fairly allergenic mold that is commonly found on foods and in home air conditioning systems. Cladosporium is typically a black or green pepper like substance that grows on the back of toilets, painted surfaces and fiberglass air ducts. While this mold is nontoxic to humans, it can trigger common allergy symptoms, such as red and watery eyes, rashes and a sore throat.
