EPA           Considering Bioaerosol Sampling http://www.epa.gov/mold/moldcourse/chapter7/lesson2.html   "remember that a negative sampling report must not be used in place of a visual survey. Factors such as barometric pressure, inside and outside temperatures, activity levels, and humidity may dramatically reduce or increase the spore levels within a building. Air sampling for mold provides information on what was in the air only for the moment when the sampling occurred. It is important, therefore, that sampling not replace visual inspection."

The job of the remediation company is to clean up mold, not find it.

The book "Fungal Contamination" is considered one of the best mold inspection resources documents in the country by professional mold assessors.   Fungal Contamination: "A Manual For Investigation, Remediation And Control" By: Hollace S. Bailey, PE, CIAQP, CIE, CMR www.becifl.com   "Anything can be toxic in high enough concentrations, even water!  If you drink too much water to quickly, your body fluids will become dilute.  The result is tissue damage and death."   "The overall visual observations made of the building must be considered in combination with the results of any testing, to determine the overall condition of the building. Test results alone should never be considered to give a definitive account of the building's condition."   "Testing is just another tool that provides us with information. By itself, testing does not do anything, accomplish anything, or fix anything."       "Indoor levels of fungal spores may also be elevated as a result of poor interior hygiene and housekeeping.    This by itself, or in conjunction with inadequate air movement and filtration, can easily result in elevated levels of spores both in the dust on surfaces (transitory) and in the air."       "No single type of testing or piece of information should be used to determine the condition of the building; findings made as a result of observations should never be discounted in favor of measurements."
