Name the mold and count the spores - not just 'positive or negative.'
Mold exposure triggers allergies, asthma, and respiratory irritation, and some genera (e.g., Stachybotrys, certain Aspergillus) produce mycotoxins or cause infections in vulnerable people.
Identifying the genus matters: Stachybotrys ('black mold') and Chaetomium indicate chronic water damage, while elevated indoor Aspergillus/Penicillium relative to outdoors points to a hidden indoor source.
Use the air cassette for airborne spores and/or the tape-lift and swab for visible growth, following the instructions for each matrix, then seal and return.
An analyst examines the samples under a microscope to identify spore types and count them directly, reporting concentrations by genus - so you learn which mold and how much, not merely whether mold is present.
