Product Description: Bio Check Mould Test
The Bio Check Mould Test is a special dust collecting duct which
meaures the contamination of mould spores.
Burning eyes, respiratory problems or rashes could be first
signs of an allergy. The cause is often invisible mould
spores in rooms.The collected dust can then be sent
to a laboratory to be analysed (included in price).
suburban determination of Indoor air pollution by moulds
mould diagnostics with the Bio-Check moulds: The dust sample will be performed by the user himself on the spot. With the help of a dust collection duct which can be sticked on the dust collection tube, objects will be removed, which can be associated with a
mould -contamination. For example, carpet or floor, near a damp wall.
Particles which are sucked in will be caught in the dust collecting duct and also sealed. This sample will be sent to the laboratory of Dräger analysis technique (costs already in the price included). After about 3 weeks, you will receive a report about the extent of the burden of the most common
mould-genera. In striking dominance of a single
mould-type it will be filed additional.
Benefits of Bio-Check Moulds: Registration of an abnormal, humidity-associated
mould-burden in indoors.
Intervention measures can be made before spread of the
mould -infestation.
Using possible with most commercially available vacuum cleaner models.
What is mould? mould / mould fungus is a common term for various fungi of different taxonomic groups, which form a cotton wool-like Mycelium (
mould) on a developmentally-substrate.
mould fungus subsist on organic material. Agars for
mold-cultures deliver organic substances which occur almost everywhere in the Soil, in wood, in dust grains, and even plastics.
How accrues mould? By air movement the
mould-spores attain on the outside air into the interior. A direct
mould entry also happens through the occupier and standing plants in the living area.
The growth of
moulds is favoured by high ambient humidity and lack of ventilation . Various structural defects leads to decreased air exchange rates, and condensation. The condensate creates the basis for the growth of fungi.
Therefore, there are virtually no
mould-free rooms.
Health effects from contact with mould: Moulds can unfold their adverse health effect on different ways. The inhaling of
mould spores provoked especially allergic reactions.
Typical reactions may be:
- Irritation of the eyes and airways
- Fleece rhinitis
- Cough
- Asthma
ul> Other potential adverse health damage caused by mould may be: toxicity, cancerogenity and pathogenicity. In addition to house dust mites and pets are moulds the most prevalent biogenic burden of the indoor air.
Countermeasures in the event of a mould infestation:
- Superficial mould infestation can be corrected by washing off and treatment with mould cracker (PureNature
- watch out for increased airflowd.
- Living conditions for the mould must be changed to achieve a permanent abatement.
- construction defects must be removed as far as possible (see PureNature : "Schimmelpilzbildungen in Gebäuden"by Dieter Pregizer).
Since remediation measures can be very expensive, it is recommended that you first diagnose the mould burden specifically.
Bio-Check Mould is qualified particularly well, since it is easy and convenient to use and the actual threat of a mould infestation is accurately measured.
