Mold growth on products is a major problem facing many manufacturers, vendor suppliers, warehouses, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers. Millions of dollars are lost every year to mold growth. The problem is that products of organic nature such as clothes, leather products, wooden products and many others are subject to damp conditions while in transit from overseas […]

Water Activity Requirements For Mold Growth
Definition of Water Activity Water activity (aw) refers to “free” water available for microbial growth. For microbial growth to occur, moisture must be freely available. The water activity of a material determines which types of mold would grow on that material. Technically, the water activity is defined as the ratio of the vapour pressure exerted […]
How to improve spore trap analysis results
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 Results and Analyses
To understand spore trap results one has to understand how labs analyze the samples. 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 […]
Fungal Spores Identification Course
Airborne Fungal Spores Course The only course you’ll ever need to master fungal spore sampling, identification, enumeration and data interpretation The objective of the fungal spores identification course is to equip participants with skills necessary to identify and differentiate airborne fungal spores from other airborne non-fungal particles. The first topic covers basic fungal classification to […]
