A minimum of two (2) test kits are required in order to compare indoor to outdoor air

quality. The rst sample should be taken indoors in the area of concern. The second sample

should be taken outdoors. If the amount of mold growth indoors is signicantly greater or the

types of mold are different then the mold growth outdoors you may have a mold problem.

WHAT IS MOLD?

Mold are types of fungi that reproduce by releasing millions of microscopic spores that oat in the air

you breathe both indoors and outdoors. Mold will grow indoors when mold spores land on surfaces

that are wet. Mold spores can spread by vacuuming, walking on carpets, sitting on a couch, opening

and closing doors and even by your heating and air conditioning system. Visible mold growth can look

many colors, white, orange, green, brown and even black. When checking for mold, look for signs of

water damage (wet spots, staining), this may indicate an area of future mold growth.

WHY IS MOLD A CONCERN?

Mold spores produce toxins which can cause allergic reactions and asthma attacks. It can also irritate the

eyes, skin, nose, throat and lungs even without allergic symptoms. Sources of indoor moisture that may

cause mold problems in your home or ofce include: ooding, leaky roofs, humidiers, damp basements

or crawl spaces, constant plumbing leaks, house plants, steam from cooking, gas heat, shower/bath steam

and leaks, wet clothes, and improperly vented clothes dryers.
