Mould Testing With Spore Traps: How To Measure Your Indoor Air Quality

Do you need to know if your indoor air quality is being affected by mould spores? Has your property been water damaged? Is there a smell? Are you concerned about biotoxins? Covering the what, how and why of spore trap testing. I'll also discuss some real world examples showing you some examples under the microscope. Find out when they are useful and my Top 6 tips for success and some pitfalls of this widely used method. I’ll also be doing a Q&A and links to papers/resources will be provided after the livestream in the description or comments. TOP 6 TIPS FOR SUCCESS WITH SPORE TRAPS: 1. Take enough samples - must have representative data to answer questions about habitability across the home and in regions of interest2. Adequate controls taken - statistical significance3. Samples taken in the breathing zone4. Spore trap data linked to other types of sampling5. Consider destructive testing where there’s a suspicion of hidden mould eg. behind walls6. Always test the roof void - often the hidden mould reservoir ASTM D7391 - 17e1 Standard Test Method for Categorization and Quantification of Airborne Fungal Structures in an Inertial Impaction Sample by Optical Microscopy. https://www.astm.org/Standards/D7391.htm ASTM D7440 - 08(2015)e1 Standard Practice for Characterizing Uncertainty in Air Quality Measurements. https://www.astm.org/Standards/D7440.htm ASTM D7338 - 14 Standard Guide for Assessment Of Fungal Growth in Buildings. https://www.astm.org/Standards/D7338.htm WHO guidelines for indoor air quality: dampness and mould.
