Molds are known for producing mycotoxins, chemical byproducts utilized as a defense mechanism against other molds and fungi competing for resources in the same environment. These mycotoxins can become dispersed in the air and adhere to surfaces within your home.
Mold spores and mycotoxins are two different things. Mold spores, being biological in nature, can cause symptoms resembling allergies like hay fever. Mycotoxins are chemical poison that can result in various health issues from short term ailments to severe conditions, like cancer.
It is now possible to analyze air quality problems caused by toxic mold and their airborne mycotoxin byproduct with the help of the AMEA mycotoxin air test. The measurement of mycotoxins in the air has reached a new level of precision, accuracy, and standardization, thanks to Respirare Labs' groundbreaking patented extraction method used in combination with ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) for a revolutionary new test. Ensure the quality of your indoor air by contacting us today.
Concerned about mycotoxins on indoor surfaces? Contact us for a MESA mycotoxin surface test by Respirare Labs. MESA mycotoxin surface testing detects the most common mycotoxins on various surfaces, including walls, furnishings, and HVAC systems. With our unique extraction method and ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay), you can easily test surfaces and prevent exposure to harmful chemical mold byproducts.
Active Sampling
Prior to AMEA sampling, the air in the room is conditioned to simulate normal activity by stirring it up prior to testing. This helps to provide consistent results and replicate what you would actively inhale.
Patented Process
Respirare Labs, the developer of the mycotoxin air test AMEA, uses a patented extraction process to prepare samples for industry-standard ELISA tests. Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), is a highly recognized form of analysis commonly used for the identification and quantification of mycotoxins.
The Breathing Zone
Samples for AMEA testing are collected at a height of 5ft from the ground, which is commonly referred to as the “breathing zone”. This method ensures that the samples accurately represent the mycotoxins that could potentially be inhaled.
Reports
AMEA mycotoxin testing relies on thorough research conducted by Respirare Labs, which has established average background levels for indoor airborne mycotoxins. Your test results are then compared against these established levels and reported in parts per billion (ppb) per cubic meter for better interpretation.
Furniture
After experiencing mold or water damage, it’s crucial to ensure that your furniture is free from any residual mycotoxins and safe to use. MESA mycotoxin surface testing can be trusted to provide this assurance and determine whether a cleaning solution is needed to maintain the furniture’s quality.
Post Remediation
The MESA mycotoxin surface test is highly recommended for post-remediation purposes. Although it can be beneficial to check your surfaces before remediation to identify the risks, it is more practical to use this test after mold remediation to ensure that there is no longer any risk of mold-produced mycotoxins.
Walls
To ensure thorough mold remediation, it is highly recommended to obtain a wall sample from where the mold was present previously to check for any remaining mycotoxins. This extra step can help ensure the safety and health of your surfaces.
HVAC Systems
Did you know that HVAC systems might be spreading mycotoxins in your home or building? These toxins can easily travel through the system and contaminate the air you breathe. One way to check if your HVAC system needs cleaning or if it’s actively contributing to the spread of mycotoxins is by getting a Respirare Labs MESA swab of your return air duct.
Aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, G2
Ochratoxin A
Trichothecenes T2, HT2
DON (Vomitoxin) Upon Special Request
Zearalenone Upon Special Request
Fumonisin Upon Special Request
AMEA and MESA offer environmental mycotoxin testing for the most commonly found indoor environmental air and surface mycotoxins which pose a significant health risk, including Aflatoxins, Ochratoxins, and Trichothecenes groups. However, testing for DON (Vomitoxin), Zearalenone, and Fumonisin is available only upon special request, as they have not been found in high enough concentrations in the indoor environment. For more information please contact Respirare Labs.
