Not enough.

This problem has become quite widespread, to the point where it's
becoming one of the things that must be acknowleged, in a fashion
similar to what was done (and still is AFAIK) with Urea Formaldehyde
insulation through the realtors fact sheet.

As a rough estimate, the police in the city of Vancouver British
Columbia, figured that as many as one house in 50 or so in their area
had some level of grow operation in it. (based on thermal imaging,
excluded as a legal search method by judicial decision) When you exclude
the small timers, that still leaves a lot of houses suffering long term
exposure to extreme levels of humidity and general decreptitude inducing
treatment. Many of these houses are in "nice" neighborhoods, occupied by
"nice, quiet" neighbors.

Black mold health issues are not quite as simple as bleach and
sheetrock.

I think it's blown out of proportion, with the exception of a few virulent
strains. In most cases mold levels outdoors are much greater, is it
hazardous to your health to walk in the woods?
