Detection of airborne Stachybotrys chartarum macrocyclic trichothecene mycotoxins on particulates smaller than conidia

Article Abstract:

The presence of airborne Stachybotrys chartarum macrocyclic trichothecenes on filters in the absence of conidia is investigated. Data reveals that S. chartarum trichothecene mycotoxins can become airborne in association with intact conidia or smaller particles and may have important implications for indoor air quality assessment.
