This test report contains the following sections: Chain of Custody, Report (and optionally Frequently Asked Questions 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.
