Re: mold test - labs

[Guest guest]

Jill,

1. This lab is connected with a (local) company whose intent is to

remediate by fogging the house. If it doesn't work the first time

they will do it again. For free.

2. Mold plates are the least accurate of the culturable methods

and they don't detect mycotoxins, dead spores, fragments or any

of the other components people can react to.

3. The owner of the lab released a study about 5 years ago which

said 1 colony on a mold plate is equivalent to 600 to 1200

colonies with a professional method. While this is a reasonably

accurate comparison, what is it not seeing in the 599 to 1199 it

misses?

While it's nice to get information and numbers, I think your time

and money is better spent elsewhere.

Subject: [] mold test - labs

I'm going to run some mold plates as one of many things we are

doing...but I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on the lab that

comes with the plate kit (Mold Intl I think)? In the past I've used

EMK labs for a bit more money and wonder if there is any difference...

thanks

Jill
