"remember that a negative sampling report must not be used in place of a visual survey. Factors such as barometric pressure, inside
and outside temperatures, activity levels, and humidity may dramatically reduce or increase the spore levels within a building.
Air sampling for mold provides information on what was in the air only for the moment when the sampling occurred. It is important,
therefore, that sampling not replace visual inspection."

"Sampling for mold should be conducted by professionals who have specific experience in designing mold sampling
protocols, sampling methods, and
interpreting the results." EPA
