Data Interpretation: Fungal Spores on Surfaces

Guidelines for Microvacuum Samples from Carpet

    • Normal/Clean: < 5000 CFU/1000 cm2 or < 50,000 CFU/gram with dominant fungi being outdoor species

 

    • Borderline: 25,000 CFU/1000 cm2 or 200,000 CFU/gram with dominant fungi being outdoor species

 

    • Elevated: 75,000 CFU/1000 cm2 or 1,000,000 CFU/gram with dominant fungi being outdoor and indoor species

 

  • Fungal Infested: > 75,000 CFU/1000 cm2 or > 1,000,000 CFU/gram with dominant fungi being indicator and outdoor species
