Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Has anyone ever run across the testing of a residential vacuum cleaner dust for bacteria levels? I have recently come across an evaluation of an apartment that was based on the bacteria levels of the dust collected from a vacuum with not much supporting anything other than the bacteria levels of the dust. It was determined that the gram negative (over 50 million per gram of dust) and the gram positive (6.7 per gram of dust) bacteria indicated a significant moisture intrusion somewhere in the apartment that promotes the growth of bacteria at levels that could put someone in the hospital. Anyone ever run across the collection of dust from someones vacuum for the purpose of evaluating the health of an indoor environment?
