Re: Re: Interpreting a spore count report - Assistance Requested Who

[Guest guest]

From what little I have read from this sight I suggested there is information on

that as well, again I have not read much but the titles have cought my eye. This

one is titled " The significance of airborne Cladosporium in indoor air quality "

http://moldbacteria.com/newsletters/2006/jan2006.html

Which looks like it goes as far as to break down cladosporium by species and

their effects. The first thing that cought my eye when I came across the sight

was that they have articles that are very recent which leads me to believe we

are that much closer to public knowledge on the subject.

considering that your friend is allredy ill, i would not even

consider outside counts vs. inside counts. inside counts are high

enough that long term exposure with a healthy person could suffer.

being ill it would possably affect your friend much faster. if I'm

thinking right cladosporium is very allergenic and penicillium and

alterneria both can produce toxins.
