| Abstract: |
| "Problems attributed to molds in indoor air are usually associated with on- site proliferation of the molds in the affected building. Only occasionally are mold conidia from an outdoor source suspected as being potential sources of symptoms. Molds proliferating within a building usually do so in discrete locations where moisture and substrate conditions are conducive. Typical sites of indoor mold proliferation are damp cellulosic materials (e.g. wallboard paper, wallpaper, carpet backing, damp papers); debris in ventilation ducts, in carpets, or in mattresses or upholstered furniture; poorly maintained humidifiers; insulation on which organic film has accumulated; constantly humid painted, caulked or plastic surfaces (e.g., windowsills, shower stalls, cold air return vents); and potted plant soils."
