The molds we test for, and why they matter.

Lab analysis identifies the specific species present. Here are five of the most common results and what they generally mean.

Full mold definitions
01

Penicillium

One of the most common indoor molds. Often tied to water-damaged materials; a known trigger for allergy and asthma symptoms.

02

Aspergillus

Very common indoors and outdoors. Some species can produce mycotoxins and are a respiratory concern, particularly for immunocompromised individuals.

Known as “black mold.” Grows on chronically wet, cellulose-rich materials like drywall and is often linked to more serious health concerns.

Where does Quest provide testing?

Quest serves all five New York City boroughs, Long Island and the greater New York Metropolitan area.

How should I prepare for indoor air testing?

The live site advises keeping windows, air purifiers and filtration systems closed for at least 12-24 hours before testing.

Know the warning signs

Avoid health and property risks with early testing.

Possible indoor environmental concerns deserve evidence, not assumptions. Quest evaluates the property condition and collects appropriate samples; laboratory testing does not diagnose personal symptoms.

Breathing difficultiesAllergic reactionsHeadachesPersistent cough or cold-like symptomsSkin irritationEye, throat or nose irritation

If you notice a persistent odor, visible staining, past water damage or unexplained indoor-air concerns, begin with an independent inspection.
