Standard Test Method for Categorization and Quantification of Airborne Fungal Structures in an Inertial Impaction Sample by Optical Microscopy

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This test method is used to estimate and categorize the number and type of fungal structures present on an inertial impactor sample.

5.2 Fungal structures are identified and quantified regardless of whether they would or would not grow in culture.

5.3 It must be emphasized that the detector in this test method is the analyst, and therefore results are subjective, depending on the experience, training, qualification, and mental and optical fatigue of the analyst.
