Many molds are damaging/toxic to humans. GP appears to be using "human damage" in addition/contrast to "property damage".

For our family, I manage the April-November humidity in our home to be in the 40-50% RH range as part of the overall indoor air quality efforts to improve comfort and health.

Some molds release toxins that make people sick.
