Re: mold testing on clothing

[Guest guest]

A good lab should be able to identify the types of

moulds on the clothing for you. So, if all you want to

know is which moulds are growing on the clothing, then

direct microscopic examination would be sufficient

although some moulds may require culturing to identify

to species.

I have been working in a building that has been

affected with mold

problems. Some efforts have been made to clean up the

problem, but I

feel that there is still some presence of mold/spores

in the

environment. I have an obtained an article of

clothing that was left

damp & has grown a LARGE AMOUNT of mold in a short

amount of time.

My question is how/ where/ what kinds of testing can

be done to

identify the types of mold growing on it?

Any suggestions as to how to go about this, costs to

expect, ect.

would be greatly appreciatated.
