I have Stachybotrys in my house analyzed from the swab (or tape) sample so why did it not show up on the air sample?
A. You have about a 10 percent chance of seeing Stachybotrys in an air sample. Part of the reason is that this mold does not give off spores unless it is losing its moisture source. The possibility exists that when an air sample is taken the mold may not be throwing off spores at the time. Air testing is one of the ways to determine what you are breathing. Using advanced mold testing technology, the level of fungal contamination can be determined.
