be done to remediate it (recommendations for corrections based on accepted industry standards). His detailed reports are often

windows or on people.
These mold spores don't grow until they find moisture (food and water),
you don't want mold growth in your home.
Organic materials provide food and even high humidity
can provide enough moisture for mold growth.

·Mold Air Sampling (testing) is often used
to help determine if further investigation for mold is warranted in Real Estate transactions. ·Mold
Air Sampling (testing) is used to determine if visible mold has contaminated other areas of the home. If you have mold in one room, can you isolate that room or area and not clean the rest
of the home? ·Visible
molds should never be disturbed during air sampling as it can result airborne spores that may contaminate other
areas through the HVAC system. (Some molds are heavy “sticky” molds, about 8 to 10 microns, and do not normally
go airborne unless they are disturbed or there is a drastic humidity change.)
·You should be concerned about mold growth in a home.
·All molds can affect someone under the right conditions.
Air Sampling should always
be done in a CONTROLLED environment.
·Doors and windows should be closed 12 hours prior to air sampling (testing).(normal
entry & exit)
·No vacuuming or cleaning should
be done 12 hours prior to air sampling.
·Outdoors
Air sample (test) must be collected at least 10 feet from the structure. (NOT
on the lanai, balcony, in the garage etc.)
