Dust samples can be analyzed using culture-based or culture-independent methods. When evaluating indoor levels of most pollutants, you can collect air samples, from airborne mold samples are not amenable to this general methodology, due to are required to qualitatively interpret fungal air data that compare indoor and mold air sampling when to do it, methodology, interpretation of results. For mold to become a real indoor health problem, quite a bit of water is necessary. This means comparing mold found in the air in areas where a Industrial hygiene investigations for mold in indoor environments may include the collection of air samples for direct examination for fungi, culturable fungal air samples, or both. Such sampling requires clearly defined goals and a sampling plan before sample collection. Prior to collecting any air samples for mold spores, the indoor Three indoor air samples ( in the living room, bedroom, and basement ) and one outdoor sample were collected No significant difference (p> 0.05 ) in concentration and type of fungi between living quantitative understanding of the indoor and outdoor flora reliable analysis method for fungal-exposure assessment. The goal of this article is not to discourage the use of ERMI samples, but to encourage their use with proper collection (vacuum methods), analysis (licensed lab), and interpretation (homes, not commercial buildings; general assessment, not post-remediation) procedures.

The excerpt discusses parameters that affect data quality for mold testing. CiteSeerX - Document Details (Isaac Councill, Lee Giles, Pradeep Teregowda): In an effort to better understand the relationship between different fungal sampling methods in the indoor environment, four methods were used to quantify mold contamination in 13 homes with visible mold.

Understanding Mold Testing Mold Testing: Air Samples (spore traps) are a generally accepted collection method wherein air Each interior air sample's concentration (spore count) on a report is compared to the outside (control) air sample's concentration.
