Bulk Sampling & Air Sampling (Accreted Lab Results)
Bulk and/or Air sampling may be necessary if the presence of mold is suspected (if, for example, musty odors are noted) but cannot be identified by a visual examination. Since micro-organisms can enter a building through travel of people and animals bringing them indoors. Also air movement from the outdoors floating through doors, open windows, and unsealed openings in the building can contribute to moisture problems; affecting your indoor air.
How does air samples get taken?
Air samples are taken by the use of a pump that pulls air through a collection cassette. The cassette catches mold spores from the air. Also swabs (bulk) are used to collect mold spores. The samples are sent to a laboratory, and a microscope is used to count the mold spores. The results are provided to you with results. Typically when mold is present in the air and building materials remediation is needed.
