Mold sampling is done whenever the presence of molds cannot be visually confirmed. A large mold presence can easily be detected by noticing the discoloration it can cause on the surface. The surface will often appear discolored to green, gray or black. Although a more detailed mold testing requires mold sampling and thentesting those samples in a lab. Sampling basically can be divided between air and surface sampling. Various surfaces are scrubbed for samples to be tested in a lab later to confirm mold presence in house. A mold inspector will collect surface samples from most common locations where mold can be found. Any area which has high moisture will be sampled for mold detection. Air samples are also collected similarly form most suspected areas to confirm mold presence. One important thing about air sampling is that samples are collected at different points of time from same places to nullify the effect of changing moldspore concentration in air.
There is a lack of awarenessregarding mold issues in general public. Generally people tend to think that they can’t have a mold problem. Even if people think they can have a mold problem in there house, they do not hire professional mold inspectors to do mold inspection and mold testing. They think they will know it when they have a mold problem on their property.None of the above beliefs are near truth. The biosphere is full of organic matter which is the primary diet of molds. Mold can take organic content from dead plants and animals. But these are not the only source of organic content from where molds can absorb their food. The Organic content is floating in the air and also present in water. It’s also one of the constituent of dust, the most abundant thing present on the earth.
The fact that organic matteris present everywhere means that molds also can be anywhere. And this is the reason that the possibility of their presence can never be denied at any place. They can be virtually anywhere. Hence every house stands a chance to be intruded by molds.
