What our lab identifies
The molds we test for, and why they matter.
Penicillium
One of the most common indoor molds. Often tied to water-damaged materials; a known trigger for allergy and asthma symptoms.
Aspergillus
Very common indoors and outdoors. Some species can produce mycotoxins and are a respiratory concern, particularly for immunocompromised individuals.
Stachybotrys
Known as “black mold.” Grows on chronically wet, cellulose-rich materials like drywall and is often linked to more serious health concerns.
Cladosporium
Among the most common molds found indoors and outdoors. A frequent allergen that grows on damp surfaces and fabrics.
Chaetomium
Usually signals significant, prolonged water damage. Often found behind drywall with a strong musty odor.

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.
