Chang, J., K. Foarde, AND D. VanOsdell. EVALUATION OF FUNGAL GROWTH (PENICILLIUM GLABRUM) ON A CEILING TILE. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/A-95/001 (NTIS PB95177218), 1994.
Description:
The paper gives results of a study employing static chambers to study the impact of different equilibrium relative humidities (RHs) and moisture conditions on the ability of a new ceiling tile to support fungal growth. mplification of the mold, Penicillium glabrum, occurred at RHs above 85-90%. onversely, at lower RHs, decreases were detected. he issue of survival vs. die-off may be important in the control of fungal contamination in building materials.
