Which of the following is the primary reason a bathroom requires ventilation?
  1. To allow odors to escape
  2. To keep condensation off the vanity mirror
  3. To prevent mold from developing
  4. To avoid slipping on the floor
Explanation
Answer: C - The primary reason a bathroom requires ventilation is to prevent mold from developing. Moisture in the air that is not exhausted outdoors eventually settles on the walls and floors of the bathroom. That moisture allows mold colonies to develop and grow. Mold is most noticeable around the floorboards, the toilet, and the bathtub/shower where condensation gets trapped. If black mold develops, serious health complications may follow.
