ISO 16000-28 Determination of Aspergillus and Penicillium in Air

ISO 16000-28 Determination of Aspergillus and Penicillium in Air

ISO 16000-28 Determination of Aspergillus and Penicillium in Air

The ISO 16000 series provides guidelines on indoor air quality. The standard ISO 16000-28 specifically addresses the determination of airborne concentrations of Aspergillus and Penicillium species, which are among the most common fungal allergens responsible for mold-related health issues in buildings.

This test is particularly important for facilities like hospitals, schools, offices, and residential properties. The presence of these fungi can lead to respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and other adverse health effects. By quantifying these spores, facility managers and compliance officers gain critical insights into the indoor air quality of their environment.

The methodology involves collecting airborne samples using specialized sampling devices that have been validated for this purpose. The collected samples are then processed using culture-based methods or molecular techniques to identify and quantify the species present. This service ensures accurate and reliable results, which can inform necessary remediation actions and help maintain a healthy indoor environment.

The primary goal of the ISO 16000-28 test is not only to detect the presence of these fungi but also to provide actionable data for improving air quality in enclosed spaces. This service supports compliance with various regulatory standards, including OSHA, EPA, and local health department guidelines, ensuring that facilities meet industry best practices.

Our laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 16000-28 protocols, using state-of-the-art equipment and trained personnel to ensure accurate and reproducible results. This service is ideal for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement professionals who need reliable data to make informed decisions about their facilities' indoor air quality.

Regular monitoring of Aspergillus and Penicillium in the air can help prevent health risks associated with mold exposure. Our expert team ensures that each sample is processed meticulously, from collection to analysis, using internationally recognized standards. This dedication to precision and accuracy sets us apart as a trusted provider for this critical service.

Understanding the levels of these fungi helps facilities implement appropriate control measures. For instance, identifying high concentrations early allows for targeted interventions such as improved ventilation systems or moisture control strategies. These actions are vital in maintaining optimal indoor air quality, thereby protecting occupants from potential health risks.
