Spore trap data should be reliable if results are to be used in assessing indoor spore types and concentrations and ultimately to evaluate the validity of exposure potential or remedial success. Spore trap analysis results are primarily used in indoor mold investigations to: assess the airborne spore concentrations and the potential for human mold exposure […]
Understanding Spore Trap Analyses and Results
When enumerating airborne fungal spores, most labs, for practical reasons, analyze a percentage of the sample trace (often 15-25%) instead of 100%. A few labs claim that they analyze 100% of the sample trace. Obviously analyzing 100% of the sample trace sounds better than analyzing say 15 or 25%. In fact, some people argue that […]
Get Rid Of Mold Problems Once And For All
It is important to get rid of mold problems in your home once and for all. Mold is a health hazard if it is allowed to grow in homes or offices. When exposed to mold, people who are sensitive are likely to experience symptoms that can range from runny nose, headaches, rashes, and fatigue to […]
Airborne Fungal Spores
Fungal spores and especially mold spores are a normal component of the outdoor air. They are microscopic structures that function as “seeds” to allow fungi to reproduce. Apart from acting as “seeds” for reproduction, many fungal spores are adapted for dispersal and for survival, often for extended periods of time, in unfavorable conditions. Airborne Fungal […]
Mold Spores In Air And Health Issues
Mold spores are tiny structures produced by molds for the purpose of reproduction, i.e., they are “seeds” but unlike the plant seeds mold spores do not contain a preformed empryo. Health Effects Associated With Mold Spores Mold spores are common in household and workplace dust. Also, due to their light weight, mold spores are often […]
