Abstract

The use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to detect mold growth in damp buildings depends on a comprehensive knowledge of the biosynthetic pathways available to indoor molds as well as their biological variation. Recent reports concerning (VOCs) formed during the growth of molds from damp buildings on laboratory substrates indicate considerable variation, presumably because of the sensitivity of mold VOC biosynthesis to environmental conditions or large biological variation.
