This test report contains the following sections: Cover, Snashot, FAQ and Glossary.
***Diagnosis of health effects should be left to a medical professional. Moldlab is not a clinical laboratory and does not have medical professionals on staff.
Health effects in general are not well studied, and dosage, exposure, and sensitivity thresholds are not well known and can potentially vary tremendously depending on various conditions and on
the particular individual. Effects can also vary from species to species within a particular mold genus.
The EPA, OSHA, NIOSH and other occupational health related associations in the U.S. have not yet established permissible exposure levels (PEL), recommended exposure limits (REL), or other limit
values for aeroallergens.
Please realize that the evaluation of one's specific results in terms of potential health hazards and subsequent courses of action are beyond the scope of the laboratory analysis.
Pictures / images are for illustration purposes only and are NOT of the samples tested.
Terminology:
Allergen- the most common effect, and can range from hay fever and asthma, to a very particular reaction in certain organs or tissues.
Contaminant- something that is present without injuring or benefiting the host; does not cause infection.
Opportunistic pathogen- Causes infection only when the weak or injured condition of the person gives the agent opportunity to infect; rarely infect persons who are
otherwise healthy.
Definition

Aspergillus/Penicillium-like (as-per-jill-us) / (pen-uh-sill'ee-um)
Classification: Allergen / Contaminant / Opportunistic Pathogen
Possible Health Effect: Aspergillus is common on tape lift samples and air samples, but its spores are indistinguishable from Penicillium spores in most cases.
There are a few exceptions but the species ID must be made from culture, and is still a difficult job. Health effects vary by species, but many are listed as
allergens. Some species can produce toxins that may have significant health effects in humans. Aspergillus is listed as one of the most infectious type of mold,
but infections are not common in normal healthy immune systems. However, if you are immune suppressed or compromised this should be discussed with
your physician.
Macroscopic Morphology: Aspergillus can appear in a wide range of colors from white to purple, yellow to green, see images next to text.
Environment: Commonly found in the environment around the world.
