Other Toxic Molds

Many fungi (e.g. species of Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarium, Trichoderma, and Memnoniella) in addition to Stachybotrys can prduce potent mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are fungal metabolites that have been identified as toxic angents, Even low levels of the species should be remediated. For example, the New York Guidelines recommend remediation if 1 CFU/m3 of Stachybotrys is found in the indoor air. If 1000 CFU/m3 of Stachybotrys is found in the indoor air, the guidelines recommend immediate evacuation.
