Re: or other experts: mycotoxins and mold spores

[Guest guest]

I'm not , but I can tell you that recent research has

conclusively proved that a significant amount of the mycotoxins in the

air in water-damaged buildings are in fungal fragments, with the

smaller fragments having more mycotoxins in them, by weight than the

larger ones. There are situations where there are very few if any

identifiable spores but the mycotoxins in the air are substantial. It

is my understanding that the worst situations are where a building has

water incursion for a period of time, then, dries up, then gets wet

again, repeatedly..

Do a search for 'fungal fragments' or 'smaller than conidia' or

'macrocyclic trichothecene' etc. on pubmed.gov for the actual

papers...
