What We Analyze
When you send in your air samples, our system doesn’t just look for “dust.” We break down the entire profile of airborne risks — from fine particulates to yeast, mold, and greenhouse pathogens.
Here’s what we detect:
Particulate Matter (Air Quality & Hygiene)
- PM10 (10 microns and smaller) – Dust, fibers, and large particulates that impact cleanliness.
- PM2.5–10 (medium particles) – Airborne debris that can carry microbes and allergens.
- PM2.5 (fine particles) – Small enough to remain airborne for long periods; indicators of air handling and filtration performance.
- Special Particulates – Includes unique fungal particles like Three-Cell Mitospore.
Airborne Yeast & Mold Spores
Spores are the early warning signs of contamination. We identify the common genera that affect food and greenhouse environments:
- Alternaria – Common in storage and crops; can produce Alternariol toxins.
- Aspergillus & Penicillium – Linked to Aflatoxins and Ochratoxin A; a major food safety concern.
- Botrytis (Gray Mold) – Spoils produce, flowers, and greenhouse crops.
- Cladosporium – Widespread in air; major spoilage organism.
- Fusarium – Produces Fumonisins and Zearalenone; high-risk in cereals and grains.
- Powdery Mildew – A key greenhouse pathogen, especially in controlled growing environments.
- Paecilomyces – Associated with spoilage; produces patulin-like toxins.
- Rhizopus / Zygomycetes – Common airborne contaminants in warehouses.
- Trichoderma – Found in damp facilities; can produce toxin-like metabolites.
- Chaetomium – Grows in damp storage areas; linked to spoilage and air contamination.
Why This Matters
- Particulates show how clean your air really is.
- Mold spores tell you where contamination is starting — before it hits your product.
👉 With this approach, you don’t just get numbers — you get a full airborne contamination profile designed for food processors, greenhouses, and controlled growing environments.
