Abstract :
Mold specific quantitative PCR (MSQPCR) was used to measure the concentrations of the 36 mold species in indoor and outdoor air
samples that were taken simultaneously for 48 h in and around 17 homes in Cincinnati, Ohio. The total spore concentrations of 353 per
m3 of indoor air and 827 per m3 of outdoor air samples were significantly different (p≤0.05). However, only the concentrations of
Aspergillus penicillioides, Cladosporium cladosporioides types 1 and 2 and Cladosporium herbarum were correlated in indoor and
outdoor air samples (p-value≤0.05 and sufficient data for estimate and absolute value rho estimate ≥0.5). These results suggest that
interpretation of the meaning of short-term (b48 h) mold measurements in indoor and outdoor air samples must be made with caution
