Examination of dust samples is widely used to detect sources of mold growth in indoor environments. The advantage of this investigation is that house dust can be regarded as a passive sampler collecting mold spores over a long time period. No generally accepted method exists, however, for sampling and analysis of house dust for the detection of molds. Therefore, results obtained by different laboratories are not comparable. Measurements with standardized validated methods are a prerequisite to assess concentrations of molds in indoor environments. The method presented is based on sampling with a modified filter holder (in accordance with VDI 4300 page 8). Mini-sieves of different sizes are used for sample preparation. The fraction <63 microm is used for cultivation of molds after suspension. Problems of dust sampling and preparation are discussed. Criteria for the detection of sources of mold growth based on dust samples are presented elsewere.
