Indoor moulds, Sick Building Syndrome and building related illness
Indoor moulds can trigger respiratory symptoms like asthma, rhinitis, or bronchitis, and understanding their role in building-related illness is crucial for preventing and remediating these illnesses.

Mycotoxin Detection in Human Samples from Patients Exposed to Environmental Molds
Mycotoxins can be detected in human tissue and body fluids from patients exposed to environmental molds, with urine, sputum, and tissue biopsies being the most likely to yield positive results.

Occurrence of Toxigenic Aspergillus versicolor Isolates and Sterigmatocystin in Carpet Dust from Damp Indoor Environments
Most Aspergillus versicolor strains in carpet dust can produce sterigmatocystin, and sterigmatocystin may occasionally occur in damp indoor environments.

Isolation of StachybotrysFrom the Lung of a Child With Pulmonary Hemosiderosis
Stachybotrys atra is a potential cause of pulmonary hemorrhage in children living in water-damaged homes, and its removal and cleaning of the home can effectively reduce the risk of infection.

Acute pulmonary hemorrhage in infants associated with exposure to Stachybotrys atra and other fungi.
Infants with pulmonary hemorrhage and hemosiderosis are more likely to live in homes with toxigenic Stachybotrys atra and other fungi in the indoor air.
