Contamination by Mold Detected Using New Technique, Environmental Science & Technology Reveals

With mold contamination of homes an ongoing concern - and a special threat to the 2.5 million foreclosed houses in the U.S., shuttered with little ventilation - scientists are reporting a new method to detect and identify low levels of airborne mold. The report, which describes a simple, fast method that could provide an early indication of potential contamination, appears in ACS' journal Environmental Science & Technology.
