There are estimated to be over 50,000 different species of mold, but only about 200 that present serious health risks to humans or animals. Because of that Microcleanse uses various types of testing methods and labs. Some harmful species are referred to as toxic molds and are potentially hazardous because they can produce chemicals known as mycotoxins. Their impact can be life threatening. 
Mycotoxins are well documented for their toxic effects on the human cell, causing a number of problems in normal cell function and are associated with a wide variety of clinical symptoms and diseases such as:  
      Kidney Toxicity -Immune Suppression - Neurotoxicity - Depression - Chronic Fatigue    
       Syndrome Cancer - Acute Pulmonary Hemorrhage - Aplastic Anemia - Birth Defects
Beside mycotoxins, several molds themselves can pose serious health risks to individuals over time, so it is vitally important to understand and use proper testing types and methods relative to each situation.
Some require DNA testing, others QPCR. Sometimes endotoxin testing is required if viruses or bacterias are suspected. Understanding and knowing which testing is best and how to accurately evaluate the results is critical in being able to establish a proper set of protocols necessary to ensure a home or structure is effectively decontaminated.
