Guest guest Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Good morning, May I please infringe on your knowledge once again. I am looking at the report from my daughters son school and don't quite understand it. It was a Spore Trap, non cultured, Spore Trap Type: Digital DIS-1 Test Method: Mold: Quantitative Direct Examination (with stain) Standard Profile. As can be seen on the laboratory report, elevated mold spore counts include the following: Epicoccum +19 Nigrospora +19 Pithomyces +19 Stachybotrys +29 Trichoderma/Gilocladium +1,458 Note: There were no significant mold spore elevation detected. Trichoderma/Gliocladium elevations detected in sample 10 were probably due to the presence of cleaning crew who were transferring trash from waste baskets lnto large garbage bags. There were no mold elevations in the sampling in hall. However, as you can see in photos, there appears to be visible mold on the HVAC grilles on the ceiling. Since there were no mold spores elevations in the air samples, cleaning is optional. On the outside control and indoor samples it says what percentage the samples are Occluded, do not understand this. there are fifteen samples won't list them all this one has me concerned: Sample 12 Hallway: 65% Occluded. Due tto a high presence of Aspergillus/Penicillum, the minimum Detection limit is 39 spores/cubic meter for this fungal group. When comparing results to other samples, we calculated results, not raw numbers. Any feedback you could provide would be great. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
