|
Provides you with a specific number of spores per cubic meter that can be compared to a baseline or control sample (quantitative) |
Will not provide you with quantitative data; and will grow mold 100% of the time (like bread) |
|
|
Will capture nearly everything present within the air, including mold spores, pollen grains, pet hair and dust mites |
Relies on the random settling of dust due to gravity; results can be greatly affected by placement in the room |
|
|
Has the ability to give you the amount of Stachybotrys spores present in the air (the mold that has gotten the most media press, and the mold you are probably most concerned about) |
Likely will not grow Stachybotrys spores because this mold requires very specific conditions to grow in a culture (conditions which are typically absent from "over-the-counter" samplers) |
|
|
Results are controlled by a determined amount of airflow, and each sample is only exposed to the air in the sampled area |
Can be easily contaminated by pets, children, or other outside sources such as air vents and ceiling fans based on placement in the room. |
|
|
This is the same method that is used by highly qualified professionals in the industry (individuals that have a Masters degree or higher in indoor air quality assessment) |
This method is not used or recognized by professionals as a feasible method for the detection of airborne mold spores in your home |
|
|
Because this method is quantitative, it provides you with useful information that can be used to determine whether remediation will be necessary (can help diagnose the extent of the problem) |
Because this method is qualitative, it cannot be used to determine whether remediation is necessary or whether you are being exposed to elevated concentrations of mold |
