This document summarizes that air sampling for mold in indoor environments should be conducted by a qualified IEQ professional (like a CIH). Before sampling, they must define the goal, as air sampling is best used only as a screening tool or to support conclusions from an informed visual inspection. The document stresses that air sample results are limited and cannot provide definitive conclusions about mold growth without the visual inspection.
Here’s a Sneak Peek of What’s Inside:
- What do the terms “viable,” “nonviable,” “direct examination,” and “culturable
sampling” mean? - Does a correlation exist between culture-based and direct examination sampling?
- What are the differences and limitations of using direct examination versus culture-based methods?
