Abstract
A set of volatile organic compound (VOC) profiles was developed with corresponding bioaerosol measurements as input–output pairs for a discriminant to predict mold exposure in indoor environments. Entech Bottle-Vacs were used to collect whole air grab samples while viable spores were collected concurrently using an Andersen impactor in conjunction with malt extract agar and dichloran glycerol 18. By comparing the bioaerosol data to VOC profiles that were obtained using a GC/MS equipped with a cold trap preconcentrator, a discriminant was developed to classify a residence as to potential mold growth based on its microbial volatile organic (MVOC) profile.
