Aspergillus and Penicillium are two of the more common and dangerous toxic molds. This test kit comes with 2 test strips. One will reveal within 5 minutes if either type of toxic mold is present. The other strip is to be sent off to a certified test lab for further analysis and a certified test report. Price includes test results.
NOTE:
Aspergillus sp. may be the most common and serious airborne mold problems in buildings: Opinion: from the author (DJ Friedman) based on extensive field investigations and laboratory work, I suspect that several species of Aspergillus are probably the most common and widespread problem mold found indoors in buildings. These spores are small, easily airborne, grow on a variety of surface materials, and move readily throughout a building almost like a gas (due to their small size) riding on building convection currents and remaining airborne for long periods of time.
Penicillium sp.
"Clean" residential buildings are typically 230/m3 +/- 630.
Buildings with evidence of flooding are typically much higher: 2200/m3 and
mold-damaged buildings are typically extremely high in comparison: 36,000/m3.
I usually find only trace levels of Penicillium/Aspergillus indoors in residential buildings and offices, so counts even close to the "clean" level may make further investigation a reasonable course of action, particularly where the building houses occupants have complaints possibly due to mold, or occupants who may be at extra risk.
