Free UKCMB webinar: The path to standardised mould testing - from chaos to consistency
Speaker: Spyros Efthymiopoulos, UCL Researcher, UKCMB affiliate
Date: Friday 16th May 2025, 10-11 BST
Many inconsistent methodologies for indoor mould testing have led to widespread confusion, unreliable results, and a lack of trust across the industry. As awareness of mould-related health risks continues to grow, so does the need for accurate and standardized testing practices. This webinar explores the path toward the standardization of testing protocols, including sampling, analysis, and interpretation. An overview of sampling and analysis techniques, along with recent advancements that are bringing much-needed clarity to the field, will be presented. A new method will also be introduced, utilizing an activated air protocol combined with filtration, qPCR analysis, and a NAHA-targeting assay to accurately quantify mould presence and identify specific mould species.
