A Quantitative Risk Assessment for Stachybotrys chartarum- Toxic Mold
The inhalation exposure to Stachybotrys chartarum (SC) has been playing a critical role in public health domain due to its ability to produce toxins (trichothecene and other mycotoxins), that are implicated in the cases of acute idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhages (AIPH) in infants. Despite multiple studies reporting an association of exposure to airborne mold with negative human health effects su...
متن کاملIndoor mold, toxigenic fungi, and Stachybotrys chartarum: infectious disease perspective.
Damp buildings often have a moldy smell or obvious mold growth; some molds are human pathogens. This has caused concern regarding health effects of moldy indoor environments and has resulted in many studies of moisture- and mold-damaged buildings. Recently, there have been reports of severe illness as a result of indoor mold exposure, particularly due to Stachybotrys chartarum. While many autho...
متن کاملThe Pathogenicity of Stachybotrys chartarum.
Stachybotrys chartarum is a dematiaceous fungus that is ubiquitous in our living environment. This fungus has long been regarded as non-pathogenic and its inhalation effect on humans has been scarcely studied. Recently, however, epidemiologic studies on acute idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage in infants suggested that the fungus might be potentially pathogenic to humans. To determine the pathogen...
متن کاملCryptic species in Stachybotrys chartarum.
Stachybotrys chartarum has received much attention as a possible cause of sick-building syndrome. Because morphological species recognition in fungi can hide diversity, we applied a phylogenetic approach to search for cryptic species. We examined 23 isolates from the San Francisco Bay Area, and another seven from around the US. Using markers we developed for three polymorphic protein coding loc...
متن کاملWhy are Silver Nanoparticles More Toxic Than Bulk Silver? Towards Understanding the Dissolution and Toxicity of Silver Nanoparticles
The mass-transport to a spherical particle in solution is considered in the context of the mechanism of oxygen reduction on silver nanoparticles. For small particles (≤1 μm) the reduction follows a twoproton, two-electron pathway due to the rapid diffusion of the intermediate hydrogen peroxide away from the interface. Above this size threshold the hydrogen peroxide is further reduced to water. ...
