Fungi are found in every ecological niche, and are necessary for the recycling of organic building blocks that allow plants and animals to live. Included in the group “fungi” are yeasts, molds and mildews, as well as large mushrooms, puffballs and bracket fungi that grow on dead trees. Fungi need external organic food sources and water to be able to grow.

Mold is a microscopic organism, found virtually everywhere, indoors and outdoors. uv air cleaner acMold can be found on plants, foods, dry leaves and other organic material. combination fan and air purifierAlso susceptible to mold growth are cellulose materials, such as, cardboard, paper, ceiling tiles and sheet rock. plants the purify the airIt can grow on almost any substance when moisture is present. They reproduce by spores, which are carried by air currents. When spores land on a moist surface suitable for life, they begin to grow. Mold is normally found indoors at levels which do affect most healthy individuals.

Mold spores are easily detached and made airborne by vacuuming, walking on a carpet or sitting on a couch. In indoor environments, mold can grow in air conditioning ducts, carpets, pots of houseplants, etc. The mold removal process involves a procedure that is similar to pesticide gassing except we do not need to “tent” the building. We bring into the structure hoses that are connected to the machines outside. We start in the overhead attic or crawl spaces so as to clean all insulation. We then introduce Ozone into he duct work so to clean and purify the AC system, as the ducts are an ideal distribution system for mold spores. We treat the entire home and contents. In the end you have a pure and safe building with no chemical residuals.

This document is a brief tutorial which provides information about the accuracy of and sources of errors in tests for the level of allergenic and toxic mold in residential buildings:AreAre cultures and swab tests valid? Thanks for your website - it is truly a public service.

My husband and I are both very ill - my husband has recently been diagnosed with metastasizing melanoma in his eye, which has spread to his liver and spine - his prognosis is not good. I have been sick with sinusitis for over a year now and am known to have severe allergies to mold (causing recurrent bronchitis and sinusitis). After many scans and tests, my doctors feel the most likely reason not responding to treatment (many courses of antibiotics and sinus irrigations) is because of an environmental allergy. Because of my husband's illness, we decided we had to move into a more maintenance-free living situation and bought a townhouse a year ago. Because of my known allergy, and because of a small area of what looked like black mold (and smelled unbelievably vile) discovered during the renovation, we had two different mold remediation companies as well as an air quality testing company come in. They felt the black mold was removed completely (under negative pressure and other precautions) and then they did a fair amount of preventive work - since there were a few tiny areas of green mold in the basement and attic.

Air quality testing afterwards supposedly showed no mold anywhere. We recently discovered our front-loading washing machine is one of the brands known to have major mold problems and there are now several class action suits against them. We had several puzzling episodes of moldy sheets, which weren't recognized until our son came home to visit (my sense of smell has been wiped out by the sinusitis and my husband never had a good sense of smell). We couldn't figure out how this was happening since we are very careful not to leave wet clothes/linens lying around or in the washer. According to our son, the mold smell permeated the master bedroom. We then moved to the other bedroom and the same thing happened again, discovered when our son was visiting again, and again the smell permeated the room. The washer is in the master bath. I first got sick in our old house (which was a house that, up until then, had been a very healthy environment for me) after we bought the washing machine.

We had a couple of episodes of moldy-smells in our wash in the old house, but I was still able to smell and threw things out right away, but was puzzled as to why they were occurring. We have replaced the washer, aired out the rooms, bought air filters, have an HEPA filter on the return heating duct, but I am not feeling better (after having rewashed all our clothes and bedding. We're concerned that mold could be in the heating/AC duct system. We've thrown out all our linens twice now (after our son discovered the mold) but before we learned about the washer. We're also wondering if we need to throw out everything again. My basic question is what is the best way to test for mold in the heating/AC system and is there a company/person you could recommend to do this work? Thanks for your time and any advice you can give us. - K.J., New Jersey What makes sense to me is to take the following mold inspection and testing steps if you have not already done so: We have sometimes found that thick absorbent furnishings such as carpets, upholstered couches and chairs, and mattresses that suffer prolonged exposure to a moldy environment may be smelly from MVOCs even if there was no observable actual mold spore or mold growth contamination on those items.

I'd like to know more about the clothes washer you had trouble with and what authoritative references you have on that matter. At MOLD & ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTORS we list some inspectors/testers specializing in mold and indoor contaminants. But there may be other well qualified people in your area. Talk with anyone you are considering hiring. Don't tell them the "right answer" (besides they are likely to have other good ideas). But name your concerns and ask how they will approach the job - stay away from superficial experts who dash in, collect a mold sample, charge you, and leave. [ has no financial nor business relationship with products or services discussed at our website How much variation in airborne mold or dust level do we see inside heating and air conditioning ducts and air handlers?: The left hand photograph shows a one liter airborne particle trace collected inside of a heating furnace return air plenum using a Burkard Personal Air Sampler. The right hand photograph shows a second particle trace collected in the same

location, with the same volume of air, with one difference: we tapped lightly on the side of the air plenum during the Even before counting the number airborne particles of any type per liter of air it is obvious that even modestly aggressive sampling (rapping on the plenum to stir up local dust) can make a large difference in the level of particles seen in the sample result. We conducted this test during a post mold remediation clearance inspection of a previously mold-contaminated air conditioningThe remediation contractor vehemently disagreed with the procedure of tapping on the ductwork during testing, informing us that "... his hygienist never did such a thing". We agree that consistency in test methods is important in order to be able to compare one mold test with another. However if we're looking for the presence or absence of a significant mold or allergenic dust reservoir that should have been removed, a little aggressiveness in sampling can be useful and in fact more accurate as well.

In sum, do not rely on the accuracy of airborne particle counts alone: Since air samples do not capture a representative picture of the indoor environment an indoor air quality investigator should not rely simply on conventional airborne particle quantitative analysis (particle counts per cubic meter). Readers concerned with mold contamination in heating and air conditioning air handlers and ductwork should see BLOWER LEAKS, RUST & MOLD and PARTICLE & MOLD LEVELS in DUCTWORK where we describe how to test HVAC systems and ductwork for mold. Mold in HVAC ductwork is also discussed at WHY DOES MOLD GROW in INSULATION?. See SLAB DUCTWORK for the role of in-slab placement of air ducts in the formation of mold contamination in HVAC systems. These critical mold testing accuracy questions are discussed in this paper.
