Application of the Environmental Relative Moldiness Index in Finland

The environmental relative moldiness index (ERMI) metric was previously developed to quantify mold contamination in U.S. homes. This study determined the applicability of the ERMI for quantifying mold and moisture damage in Finnish residences. Homes of the LUKAS2 birth cohort in Finland were visually inspected for moisture damage and mold, and vacuumed floor dust samples were collected. An ERMI...

Possible application of the Environmental Relative Moldiness Index in France: a pilot study in Brittany.

Our goal was to determine if the US Environmental Relative Moldiness Index (ERMI) scale might have application in France. Twenty homes in Brittany, north western region of France were classified by inspection as "Moldy" or "Non-Moldy". Dust and air samples were collected (MiTest sampler or Coriolis sampler, respectively) from each home and analyzed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPC...

Decreased FEV1 % in asthmatic adults in Scottish homes with high Environmental Relative Moldiness Index values.

BACKGROUND Exposures to indoor biological contaminants have been implicated in asthma's aetiology but their effect on lung function is not well quantified. OBJECTIVE The aim of this cross-sectional study of non-smoking, asthmatic adults in Scotland was to determine the correlation between the results from a standard spirometry test, forced expiratory volume in one-second percent (FEV1 %), and...

Geographic Distribution of Environmental Relative Moldiness Index Molds in USA Homes

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to quantify and describe the distribution of the 36 molds that make up the Environmental Relative Moldiness Index (ERMI). MATERIALS AND METHODS As part of the 2006 American Healthy Homes Survey, settled dust samples were analyzed by mold-specific quantitative PCR (MSQPCR) for the 36 ERMI molds. Each species' geographical distribution pattern was exami...

Decreased Pulmonary Function Measured in Children Exposed to High Environmental Relative Moldiness Index Homes

BACKGROUND Exposures to water-damaged homes/buildings has been linked to deficits in respiratory health. However, accurately quantifying this linkage has been difficult because of the methods used to assess water damage and respiratory health. PURPOSE The goal of this analysis was to determine the correlation between the water-damage, as defined by the Environmental Relative Moldiness Index (...
