Скачать или смотреть EMLab P&K's MoldSCORE™ Mold Lab Report: An Expert Second Opinion for Your Mold Investigation

EMLab P&K's Dr. Harriet Burge provides answers to questions like:
Why is it important to compare indoor fungi spore concentrations against outdoor spore concentrations?
How does MoldSCORE™ help me interpret data?
How was MoldSCORE™ developed scientifically?
How should MoldSCORE™ be used?

What Is MoldSCORE™?
MoldSCORE™ is a number estimating how an outside mold expert would interpret a set of mold data. It's purpose is not to provide the 'final answer' for your mold investigation since that requires knowledge of the onsite conditions and related information, but rather MoldSCORE™ provides a 'second opinion' that may be useful to professional mold inspectors. MoldSCORE™ was rigorously developed and tested by experienced mold professionals. MoldSCORE™ uses a large database of detailed information about fungi found on fungal air samples to provide a useful "mold score" to complement your mold investigation.

How Can MoldSCORE™ Help in My Mold Investigations?
When evaluating indoor levels of most pollutants, you can collect air samples, compare your sampling results to established exposure standards, and make relatively unambiguous decisions regarding the need for remediation. Results from airborne mold samples are not amenable to this general methodology, due to difficulties in developing such exposure standards for reasons discussed at length elsewhere, and are largely related to the fact that mold spores are a natural part of the environment and normally found both inside and outside of buildings. Consequently, in the case of airborne mold samples, one must rely on a different general test methodology that considers not only the overall level of mold spores, but also a comparison of these levels to background levels for each type of mold spore. Although mold investigations designed to reveal the presence or absence of such growth should always rely primarily on visual inspections by experienced mold investigators, it is often necessary to use sampling as auxiliary support. Advanced education and experience in aerobiology and indoor air quality investigations are required to qualitatively interpret fungal air data that compare indoor and outdoor spore concentrations. Many experts have found MoldSCORE™ to be a useful aid, or 'second opinion,' in evaluating mold data.
