        "text": "Mold can spread remarkably quickly in an office environment, often within 24 to 48 hours, if conditions are favorable. It requires moisture, a food source (like drywall, wood, or fabric), and a suitable temperature. A small leak or high humidity can rapidly lead to significant growth, especially if not addressed promptly. Once established, mold spores can become airborne, potentially spreading to other areas of the building and affecting indoor air quality. Rapid response to water intrusion is key to limiting its spread.",
