Currently available methods for home mold surveys. II. Examples of problem homes surveyed.

P P Kozak, J Gallup, L H Cummins, S A Gillman.   

Abstract

Results of mold surveys in seven homes are reported. The advantages and disadvantages of the different techniques for mold evaluation are illustrated. No one sampling technique is adequate for detection of endogenous mold problems. Ideally, one should incorporate direct Scotch tape imprints, direct cultures of suspected material, Andersen sampling and a rotorod study to obtain an accurate assessment of the endogenous mold population.
