Points to Consider When Making A Decision About Air Testing: Molds

There are many molds in this world and we will never eradicate them from our life or our indoor environments. However, there are those specific few that are pathogenic or disease causing molds which need to be considered as dangerous. Molds are generally measured by comparison to the outdoor quantities measured at the same time. In the indoor environment any molds found inside which are also outside should be a lower levels than the outside molds. If any molds on the inside are not on the outside there is probably a site of growth somewhere in the home. The pathogenic molds should never be allowed to grow in the indoor environment. The identification of these molds is one of basic reasons for air sampling.
