10:37:48 –The third report we’d like to talk about is one that we did dated March 11th, 2003 [Keiko: “That’s about a year later?”] That’s correct, right. And looking at data table 1A which concerns airborne cultivable fungi, the results that we detected comparing the outdoor, the first floor and the second floor concentrations for penicilium and yeast we had higher concentrations on the second floor than the first floor which were even higher than what we detected outdoors, so we had primary concentrations on the second floor, some on the first floor higher than the outdoors. 10:38:30 –I’m not certain of the timing when they left, I don’t know. 10:38:50 –That often happens, yes. If were sampling a house that is not occupied two things happen. Sometimes the fungal spores concentrations decrease because the water source has been cut off and secondly as those wet materials dry out again were detecting even different kinds of airborne molds. 10:39:25 –Looking at the same report data table 2, this is a wall cavity sampling and we detected culturable fungi in the first floor office north wall, and the second floor hall bathroom south wall plumbing wall. We also detected spores, but not culturable fungi in the east wall of the northeast second floor fungi. 10:39:53 –Well, there’s two types of samples we take, culturable which is when were looking for living spores and total fungal spores which we look at under a microscope and we can’t tell if the spore is alive or dead, even though a live spore or a dead spore are just as allergenic, expect a dead spore is not infection, but they are still toxigenic and allergenic.
