Standardization of a sampling and analytical method requires years of collaboration from experts in related disciplines and must be based on industry-recognized protocols. It's not a government agency's role to write a "standardized" method based on a few studies and then ask an entire industry to recognize and accept it.

When conducting indoor mold growth investigations, one of the industry-recognized methods is to compare a suspected problem area to a non-problem reference area which represents a normal background level of fungal biomass. ERMI, developed by EPA, uses a reference internal to the sample itself based upon ten fungal species (Group II). It is a new and unproven fungal ecology model developed for indoor mold growth investigation and was developed with little involvement of mycologists. As with any new theory or method, it must be proven or validated with extensive research data over time.

There are many important issues surrounding ERMI that still need to be addressed in several areas including: (1) Basic Fundamentals (2) ERMI Calculation Formula and Data Variation (3) Method Development and (4) Method Validation.

A petition to EPA regarding ERMI has been initiated. by Dr. Wei Tang on October 14, 2007. This petition is his personal opinion and it is NOT the position of any organization or business that he is affiliated or working with. Please follow the link to read the details and sign the petition.

What good is a mold report if the homeowner or property manager cannot even read it? Many bar graphs for airborne fungal spores are not proportional to the concentrations of spores, which makes it confusing to read, even for scientists-not to mention homeowners or facility managers. For example, the ratio of bar heights of 1000 to 100 to 10 spore/m3 on a log scale graph is actually 3 to 2 to 1. It's good for scientific research, but it's certainly not helping when you try to explain the results to homeowners.

QLab's proprietary and copyrighted MoldSense QGraph is "Visually-Comprehensive and Proportionally-Correct." Homeowner can see a clear visual representation of airborne spore profiles in all samples as illustrated on MoldSense QGraph. On the other hand, they cannot understand why your competitor's report graphs are not even proportional to the concentrations reported. Show a copy of MoldSense QGraph to your customers, and you can easily increase your sales closing rate. Stop giving your customers a cloudy mental confusion and start providing them a clear visual representation. Switch TODAY!

If you are attending IAQA 2007 Conference in Las Vegas, you can see a complete explanation and demonstration of an advanced and comprehensive data interpretation method using MoldSense Profile Comparison and MoldSense QGraph presented by Dr. Wei Tang on 10/16 (Tue) at 4 pm.

Aren't you sick and tired of your lab keeps giving you the excuse that airborne mold spores are lumpy, so spore count results are not reproducible? Sure, counting 100% of sample will help, but at what speed? If your lab has to read at accelerated speeds to cover a larger area, does that really help? How would you like to watch a 2-hour motion picture in 30 minutes? How about doing that under microscope?

According to recent studies, QLab's proprietary MoldSense Advanced and High Performance Spore Count (TM) are the spore count methods that truly produce accurate and precise results, lumpy spores or not. Unevenly distributed spores are enumerated on the entire 100% trace (not just scanned as in other labs). Evenly distributed small spores are carefully enumerated at "normal" necessary speed on 25% of the trace for MoldSense Advanced and 50-100% of the trace for High Performance Spore Count. QLab's well trained and highly experienced analysts are capable of using this sophisticated counting protocol to produce accurate and precise results superior to other labs' unreproducible results produced by entry-level analysts using basic spore counting protocols.

Isn't it about time to start finding more hidden mold and stop missing the opportunities to help your clients? Upgrade to MoldSense Advanced and High Performance Spore Count (TM) and say goodbye to unreliable data TODAY!
