Can anyone tell me what this mold report means?
=============================
According to the State Lab of Hygiene report for the water damaged
drywall sample taken from Curtin 495, there we
aerobic actinomycete 1,400 colony forming units (CFU) per inch^2
82 %
Acremonium species 100 CFU/in^2, 6 %
Penicillium species 100 CFU/in^2, 6%
Tribirachium species 100 CFU/in^2, 6%
Short answer. That fuzzy stuff is mold and unless you have a special
allergy, you will live. As I recall non-of those are considered serious
health risk. However you don't want them at all so you will want to take
some form of action.
I am no expert and I don't recognize those measurements, so it may be
levels you would expect to find in any home. Believe me every home and
office, street corner and farm field has some molds.
