In an air sample, what are the normal number of spores taken from inside a room?
A. There are no established standards by State, or Federal governments, for what are considered a normal number of spores inside a room. All rooms have mold in them and the lab sees numbers as low as 20 spores per cubic meter of air to 50,000 spores per cubic meter of air. The lab receives air samples from all over the United States, and the numbers vary considerably in different climates. The more humidity that is in the air results in higher average numbers. The real question is, are there more spores inside the room than outside the building? If that is the case then it is a good indicator that mold is growing in your building. Nationally certified indoor environmental specialists of American Mld Inspection will work with you and describe what they have discovered during the mold inspection and make recommendations for correcting any problems found.
