click on the types of mold expososed to.

spore air count doesn't mean a lot, because it can vary day to day.

stachybotrys is one that is known to produce mycotoxins, it hides

behind walls and doesn't always pick up on air test,chances are, that

also important to do tape tests,also. as there may be types there not

picked up on air

tests.
