Investigations and evaluation of mold related problems rely on sampling techniques to determine the presence or absence of mold growth. In the indoor environment presence of mold is an indirect indicator of the occupants’ potential exposure to those molds. There are several mold sampling methods and understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each method is […]
How To Interpret Laboratory Results for Airborne Fungal (Mould) Samples
Laboratory results for airborne mould and bacteria concentrations can be difficult to interpret for two major reasons. Maximum exposure limits have not been set Currently, there are no set maximum exposure limits (MELs) or threshold level values for airborne indoor mould and bacteria concentrations. Setting MELs would be difficult for reasons which include limitations in […]
