Why Air Quality Inspection Is Important
Air quality inspection for mold is the best mold testing method to determine the level of mold contamination within a building. Testing air for mold determines all key mold types present in the air and the exact quantity that people are inhaling per cubic meter of air. By comparing indoor airborne mold spore types with what is found in the outside air we can tell whether there are sources of mold growth indoors that require to be removed. Mold hidden behind walls, floors or in ventilation systems can also be detected through mold air testing. Since people who have adverse health effects from mold receive the exposure through spores traveling in the air, mold air testing is the only way to accurately determine the amount and type of mold they are breathing.
Do you have a mold problem? Do not panic. MBL provides air quality inspection services. This is how it works:
- You call us to collect samples or you send samples to our laboratory.
- We identify all the molds in the samples and provide you with their identities and information on their health risks and symptoms (if documented in medical literature).
- Depending on the level of mold contamination, we connect you (or you find a company of your own choice) with companies that can do mold removal and clean-up for you.
- We can take air samples before and after mold removal to determine if airborne mold levels have been reduced to “normal” levels.

The advantages of MBL approach.
- If we find no mold in the samples you sent to us (or the ones we collected), you will have peace of mind that you or your family are not likely to be exposed to mold. If the family is sick, you and your doctor can then concentrate on other possible causes of sickness having eliminated mold.
- If we find mold we will be able to advise you whether it is something you can clean-up yourself (depending on area of contamination) or you need a professional to do it for you, thus saving you money if a professional was not required.
- We strongly adhere to professional ethics and we are independent of mold removal companies so our reports and advice are reliable and unbiased.
The Advantages of Using MBL Services

We have considerable experience collecting and analysing air samples and surface samples such as bulk samples (that is pieces of drywall, ceiling tiles, insulation material, carpet, wood and wallpaper), tape lift samples, swab samples, and dust samples.
- A detailed written mold test report of laboratory results, medical information, and recommendations is provided. The lab report includes:
- A listing of significant/dominant molds in each sample examined.
- A summary of medical information (where available) for each significant mold identified.
- Recommendations on what actions to take.
- Links to guidelines for mold removal.
