An apparatus for monitoring environmental conditions favorable for mold,
mildew and fungus growth includes a microprocessor having a data map, a
temperature sensor attached to the microprocessor, a relative humidity
sensor attached to the microprocessor, an indicator array attached to the
microprocessor, and a power supply attached to the microprocessor. The
map has a plurality of relative humidity and temperature combinations and
one or more suggested actions, for the user, based on the combinations.
The indicator array may be a single warning light or an array with a
plurality of warning lights. The indicator array may also be a text
display or an audio speaker for displaying one or more ambient conditions
or suggested actions. Barometric pressure data may also be included with
the map for more comprehensive suggestions for action.
