Summary of Sample Analysis Results
Do not take any action based on the results of this report until you have read the entire report.
Air Sample Summary:
The MoldSCORE™ was in the HIGH range for the following area(s): 27612138, 27612078, 27612061. A high MoldSCORE™ indicates a high likelihood of mold growth in the area tested at the time of the inspection. If mold growth is in fact present, it should be cleaned or physically removed using appropriate controls and precautions by a trained professional and any associated water source that led to the problem should also be corrected.
The MoldSCORE™ was in the MODERATE range for the following area(s): 27608970, 27612107, 27612067, 27612063, 27612061. A moderate MoldSCORE™ means that the results are inconclusive, and suggests that a more detailed inspection by a trained professional may make sense if there are any other reasons to believe that mold growth could be a problem in this room.
Please see the sections titled "Detailed Results of the Air Sample Analysis" and "Understanding Your Air Sample Analysis Results" for important additional information.

Outside Data transferred from EMLab ID: 2087334 at client's request.
* Rated on a scale from low to high. A MoldSCORE™ rating of <150 is low and indicates a low probability of spores originating inside. A MoldSCORE™ rating of >250 is high and indicates a high probability that the spores originated from inside, presumably from indoor mold growth. A MoldSCORE™ between 150 and 250 indicates a moderate likelihood of indoor fungal growth. EMLab P&K's MoldSCORE™ analysis is NOT intended for wall cavity samples. It is intended for ambient air samples in residences. Using the MoldSCORE™ analysis on other samples (like wall cavity samples) will lead to misleading results.
** The spores of Penicillium and Aspergillus (and others such as Acremonium and Paecilomyces) are small and round with very few distinguishing characteristics. They cannot be differentiated by spore trap sampling methods. Also some species with very small spores are easily missed, and may be undercounted. The Penicillium/Aspergillus indicator operates on the assumption that the majority of the spores in this category are, in fact, Penicillium or Aspergillus.
*** The spores reported in this category come from many different mold types. As a result, the mold types represented by the counts for the "Location" sample may be different than the mold types represented by the counts for the outside sample. The totals shown are the summation of the rounded values for the spores types in the category and may contain more than two significant figures.
**** The spores of smuts, Periconia, and myxomycetes look similar and cannot generally be distinguished by spore trap analysis. Smuts are plant pathogens and are not likely to be on indoor surfaces. Periconia is rarely found growing indoors. However, myxomycetes, the spores of which look similar, can occasionally grow indoors. Because there is a small probability of indoor sources, these spore types are indicated in the "other" spore types category. False positives may result if the spores are smuts, not myxomycetes.
‡A "Version" indicated by -"x" after the Lab ID# with a value greater than 1 indicates a sample with amended data. The revision number is reflected by the value of "x".
Total spores/m3 has been rounded to two significant figures to reflect analytical precision.
The analytical sensitivity is the spores/m^3 divided by the raw count, expressed in spores/m^3. The limit of detection is the analytical sensitivity (in spores/m^3) multiplied by the sample volume (in liters) divided by 1000 liters.

* Rated on a scale from low to high. A MoldSCORE™ rating of <150 is low and indicates a low probability of spores originating inside. A MoldSCORE™ rating of >250 is high and indicates a high probability that the spores originated from inside, presumably from indoor mold growth. A MoldSCORE™ between 150 and 250 indicates a moderate likelihood of indoor fungal growth. EMLab P&K's MoldSCORE™ analysis is NOT intended for wall cavity samples. It is intended for ambient air samples in residences. Using the MoldSCORE™ analysis on other samples (like wall cavity samples) will lead to misleading results.
** The spores of Penicillium and Aspergillus (and others such as Acremonium and Paecilomyces) are small and round with very few distinguishing characteristics. They cannot be differentiated by spore trap sampling methods. Also some species with very small spores are easily missed, and may be undercounted. The Penicillium/Aspergillus indicator operates on the assumption that the majority of the spores in this category are, in fact, Penicillium or Aspergillus.
*** The spores reported in this category come from many different mold types. As a result, the mold types represented by the counts for the "Location" sample may be different than the mold types represented by the counts for the outside sample. The totals shown are the summation of the rounded values for the spores types in the category and may contain more than two significant figures.
**** The spores of smuts, Periconia, and myxomycetes look similar and cannot generally be distinguished by spore trap analysis. Smuts are plant pathogens and are not likely to be on indoor surfaces. Periconia is rarely found growing indoors. However, myxomycetes, the spores of which look similar, can occasionally grow indoors. Because there is a small probability of indoor sources, these spore types are indicated in the "other" spore types category. False positives may result if the spores are smuts, not myxomycetes.
‡A "Version" indicated by -"x" after the Lab ID# with a value greater than 1 indicates a sample with amended data. The revision number is reflected by the value of "x".
Total spores/m3 has been rounded to two significant figures to reflect analytical precision.
The analytical sensitivity is the spores/m^3 divided by the raw count, expressed in spores/m^3. The limit of detection is the analytical sensitivity (in spores/m^3)

Understanding Your Air Sample Analysis Results
Description of the Air MoldREPORT™ Analysis Mold spores are present in virtually all environments, both indoors and outdoors, with a few notable exceptions such as industrial clean rooms and hospital organ transplant rooms. Generally, in "normal" or "clean" indoor environments, indoor spore levels are lower, on average, than outdoor levels. However, even the most simple rules (such as "inside/outside" ratios) are not always appropriate for determining whether there is a source of mold growth indoors, and may provide false or misleading results. One reason these simple methods do not always work is because both outdoor and indoor spores levels vary widely due to factors such as weather conditions and activity levels within the room. For example, even in a "normal" home, spore levels can be higher than outdoors at certain times, such as after vacuuming (when airborne indoor levels could be unusually high) or after a heavy snow (when outdoor levels could be unusually low).
MoldREPORT™ is designed and intended to provide an easily understood report for residential home inspections to help in the assessment of mold growth in the living areas sampled. MoldREPORT™ relies on non-invasive and non-destructive tests, so it cannot guarantee that hidden mold problems will be detected and reported. MoldREPORT™ results apply only to the rooms or areas tested, at the time of sampling. Factors taken into consideration include, but are not limited to, the distribution of spore types, absolute levels inside and outside, relative levels inside and outside, the range and variation of spore levels that normally occur outside, and the types of spores present.
Providing you with a helpful, understandable and top quality interpretation requires special expertise. EMLab P&K recognizes this and has taken the following steps to provide the best possible interpretation of your air sampling results.
1. Your samples were analyzed by EMLab P&K,
2. We utilize the proprietary MoldREPORT™ analysis system, which was developed by a team including leading professionals in the indoor air quality (IAQ) industry.
MoldSCORE™ The MoldSCORE™ indicates the likelihood, based upon the air sample laboratory data, that there is unusual or excessive mold growth in the properly sampled indoor area(s). It is calculated using EMLab P&K's proprietary MoldREPORT™ system, based upon the indicator scores described in the following paragraphs. When the on-site inspection and sampling are done properly, MoldREPORT™ is less likely to give false results than other, simpler methods of interpretation often employed for routine home inspections, such as ratio analysis. It is important to bear in mind that any analytical method, findings, and interpretation should be used with a degree of caution and common sense. Any decisions related to health should be made in consultation with a medical doctor, and nothing in this report is intended to provide medical advice or indicate whether a medical or safety problem exists.
Descriptions of the indicators:
Quantity and concentration of Penicillium/Aspergillus spore types This score indicates the likelihood that spores of Penicillium or Aspergillus present in the indoor sample originated from indoor sources. A high score suggests that there is a high probability that Penicillium or Aspergillus is originating indoors, such as from active mold growth. A low score indicates that the spores present are more likely to have originated from outdoor sources and come inside through doors and windows, carried in on people's clothing, or similar methods. Penicillium and Aspergillus are among the most common molds found growing indoors and are one of the more commonly found molds outside as well. Their spores are frequently present in both outdoor and indoor air, even in relatively clean, mold-growth-free, indoor environments. Additionally, their levels vary significantly based upon activity levels, dustiness, weather conditions, outside air exchange rates, and other factors.

Understanding Your Air Sample Analysis Results (continued)
Quantity and concentration of Cladosporium spores This score indicates the likelihood that spores of Cladosporium present in the indoor sample originated from indoor sources. A high rating indicates that there is probably a source of Cladosporium spores in this location.
Cladosporium is one of the most commonly found molds outdoors and is also frequently found growing indoors. Even more so than Penicillium and Aspergillus, spores from Cladosporium are generally present in outdoor and indoor air, even in relatively clean, mold-growth-free, indoor environments. Its levels also vary based upon activity levels, weather conditions, dustiness, outside air exchange rates, and other factors.
Quantity and concentration of basidiospores This score indicates the likelihood that basidiospores present in the indoor sample originated from indoor sources.
Basidiospores are extremely common outdoors and originate from fungi in gardens, forests, and woodlands. It is rare for the source of basidiospores to be indoors because basidiospores are produced by a group of fungi that includes mushrooms and other "macrofungi" (and are not technically molds). Their concentrations can be extremely high outdoors during wet conditions such as rain. Nevertheless, in certain conditions basidiospores can be produced indoors, and a high rating indicates that there is probably a source of basidiospores indoors. One reason basidiospores are important is that they can be an indicator of wood decay (e.g. "dry rot"), a condition that can dramatically reduce the structural integrity of a building.
Quantity and concentration of "marker" spore types This score indicates the likelihood that certain distinctive types of mold present in the indoor sample originated from indoor sources. Certain types of mold are generally found in very low numbers outdoors.
