How to Test Indoor Air for Mold
Having mold growing in your home can be difficult to detect and cause an array of health issues. Whether you’ve noticed a musty smell in your house or you’re struggling with respiratory issues, headaches, or chronic fatigue, mold may be to blame.
Home Mold Detection Kits
The first way to detect mold in a home is to look for dark stains or discoloration in moist places. Be sure to check behind your refrigerator and around your bathroom when performing a visual inspection.
When mold becomes airborne, it can be inhaled and create health issues. Home mold detection kits are generally made up of a set of Petri dishes that need to be opened and placed in areas where mold growth is suspected. Leaving these dishes open and undisturbed for two days can allow them to capture any mold spores that are floating in the area.
After the collection phase, the Petri dishes should be placed in a dark room for up to five days. If mold spores are circulating in your home, they’ll start to grow in the dishes, and you’ll be able to see them.
