Fungus and Mold Growth Testing

A fungus and mold growth test is a type of environmental testing that is used to determine the presence of fungus and mold on a surface or in a product. The fungus can grow in areas of high humidity, moisture and poor ventilation. They can cause a range of health problems, such as allergic reactions, respiratory problems and infections can also lead to material degradation and other issues.

The fungus test typically involves placing a sample of the product or material to be tested in a growth medium that is designed to promote fungal growth. The sample is incubated under controlled environmental conditions of temperature and humidity for a specified period, typically several weeks, to allow the fungi to grow. The sample is then examined for the presence and extent of fungal growth and the type of fungus can be identified.

Fungus testing is commonly used in industries such as electronics, aerospace, automotive and construction to ensure that products and materials are not susceptible to Fungus and Mold Growth, which could impact their performance and longevity. It is also used in indoor air quality testing to determine if mold is present in the air or on surfaces, which could cause health problems for occupants of a building.
