Product Description
This test detects and quantifies the presence of mold in food, beverage, sponge, and swab samples. Mold testing in homes is essential for detecting mold growth, which can harm health and damage property. Mold thrives in damp areas like basements and bathrooms, and prolonged exposure may cause respiratory problems, allergies, and worsen conditions like asthma. Testing methods include air sampling, surface testing, and swab analysis to identify mold spores. Early detection and remediation help ensure a safe living environment and prevent structural damage, while regular testing can address moisture issues and stop mold growth before it escalates.
