Fungal and mold spores are common contaminants in both indoor and outdoor areas. Certain species of mold and fungi are associated with the indoor environment and grow particularly well in warm and damp conditions. They are usually found in bathrooms, basements, and other areas with poor ventilation or affected by water damage.
The visible signs of mold on wall and ceiling surfaces are an obvious indication of molds and their growth activity, but on its own, this does not confirm if and to what level airborne viable spores are present within the atmosphere. In many cases, mold may be growing within hidden voids and release spores into the atmosphere without any visible signs to the occupants, causing health risks. Viable mold spore testing collects living mold spores and requires culturable media for mold spores to be grown in the laboratory. Following the collection of a set volume of air, it is then possible to calculate the concentration of mold spores and make any recommendations about known exposure levels.
