Abstract

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by many species of

fungi, such as Penicillium, Aspergillus, Fusarium and Stachybotrys.

Mycotoxicosis can affect humans and animals after ingestion of

mouldy mycotoxin-contaminated food or feed. Recent years have seen

increasing interest in inhalation exposure to mycotoxins in

agricultural environments and in water-damaged buildings with mould

problems. Inhalation exposure to mycotoxins can occur by inhalation

of airborne mycotoxin-containing particles, such as fungal spores,

There is evidence that inhalationexposure to aflatoxins can elevate

cancer risk, and inhalation exposure to ochratoxins can cause kidney

damage. In buildings with mould problems, trichothecene mycotoxins

have been detected In building materials and dust samples. In these

cases, residents have suffered from respiratory tract symptoms and

irritation of eyes and skin.
