Penicillium: One Of Many Molds Attributable
to Indoor Air Quality Problems
| Non-Viable Samples: Wipe, tape lift, dust, air, soil or vac samples that are analyzed to determine the presence and concentration of non-specific mold spores. Data from Non-Viable samples does not provide insight on the type of mold present or its toxicity. |
| Viable Samples: Mold samples taken with the intent to incubate and grow the captured mold in a laboratory environment in order to define the species of mold, its concentration and its potential toxicity. |
Complaints of persistent respiratory illnesses may be a sign of airborne mold contamination. Molds are able to produce spores that can be carried on drafts throughout a building. The inhalation of these spores can lead to allergic reactions and flue like symptoms.
If the Mold Samplers determine that airborne mold is a problem in your building, we may recommend air monitoring. We will measure airborne concentrations of mold spores inside your building and compare it to the concentrations of mold on the outside of your building. To save money, we will often start a project taking non-viable samples. If warranted, we may proceed to viable sampling.

"We must be able to respond to our customers in a fast and responsive manner when mold is suspected of being a problem. Prohibiting mold and its adverse health effects should be our principal goal." -Mr. Douglas B. Kochanowski -Project Manager All Phase Environmental, Inc. |
