1.0 Introduction

1.1 Scope of Work / Project Personnel

Adelaide Environmental Health Associates, Inc. (Adelaide) performed an Indoor Air Quality Clearance Sampling, in conformance with ALL Federal, State and Local regulations, on October 16, 2018 for Yonkers Public Schools throughout all rooms located at PS 15 in Yonkers, New York. The clearance sampling included 1) a visual inspection/assessment throughout accessible interior and/or exterior spaces of the building/structure identified to be affected; and, 2) collecting of various air, tape, swab and/or bulk sample(s) at the discretion of the mold assessor; Certified Adelaide personnel (Appendix C), Jason Fullum (NYS Mold Assessor/Cert. #MA00056) and David Seddon (NYS Mold Assessor/Cert. #MA00172), performed the visual assessment throughout affected area(s) identified. 1.2 Executive Summary

Adelaide performed an indoor air quality clearance sampling of all the rooms on all floors for post abatement clearance after mold remediation was completed on October 1, 2018. Initial clearance sampling was performed on October 1, 2018 and the school district requested an additional set of clearance samples for October 16, 2018. The mold remediation included the removal of all mold containing materials including drywall and ceiling tiles, the removal of water stained building materials, fogging of the HVAC system, cleaning the unit ventilators and diffusers. Adelaide collected one hundred and thirty five (135) air samples from the above-mentioned area(s). For testing locations, refer to the sample location maps (Appendix A). 1.2.1 Conclusions and Recommendations The following conclusions and recommendations are prepared by Adelaide as per the provided scope of work. Should the scope of work change, it is recommended that the findings be revisited to determine if additional sampling will be required to satisfy ALL Federal, State and Local regulations. 1.2.2 Indoor Air Quality Air samples were collected in each space throughout the basement, first, second and third floors of the building after mold abatement was completed. The mold remediation included the removal of all mold containing materials including drywall and ceiling tiles, the removal of water stained building materials, fogging of the HVAC system, cleaning the unit ventilators and diffusers. The air samples all showed acceptable levels and the area can be reoccupied. Even though Stachybotrys was found in the air sample in room 301A it was a minimal amount of one spore. The exterior samples were low during this sampling period due to rain the previous day leading to six rooms showing higher amounts of aspergillus/penicillium on the interior than the exterior. The rain will reduce the number of exterior spores that are airborne and give a false positive on the interior. The previous results from October 1, 2018 are a more representative number for the normal spore counts. The raw counts of those six rooms are still low enough to not be considered a hazard.

1.3 Observations The following observations were made during the assessment:

• No visible mold was observed during the final clearance. • Wet ceiling tiles were observed on the third floor due to continued roof leaks.

2.0 Sampling Methodology Yeasts and Molds: Adelaide uses 14.4mm, .37 micron Air-O-Cell cassettes at 15.0L/min to sample airborne mold. Samples of unused filters, handled in the same manner as the sample cassettes, are analyzed as blanks to ensure no contamination was from the process of taking the sample. The filters from the samples are then diluted and redeposited on malt extract agar (for fungi and mold) and tryptic soy agar (for bacteria). The agar is then incubated from four to seven days. The growth is both counted and identified. This is very important. "Counts", alone, are only half the story. The other half is whether the mold present is an opportunistic pathogen or just an allergen. Yeast and mold concentrations vary outdoors based on rainfall, temperature, vegetation, soil disturbance, wind and other factors. There are no "regulatory standard" methods at this time. The method used was provided by Dr. Chin Yang, Consulting Mycologist, formerly with the U.S. Public Health Service, Division of Federal Occupational Health. Bulk samples collected are sent to the laboratory in a 4 mil poly bag. The sample(s) received by the laboratory are matched with the information provided on the Chain of Custody (COC). A laboratory Identification Number is assigned and the project and sample information is logged. Analysis begins with an inspection of the bulk material and any areas of discoloration or potential fungal presence are noted. Clear tape is used to take representative samples from the material and the tape(s) are reviewed microscopically and any detected fungi are identified and estimated amounts are noted in our reporting system. In evaluating microbiological test data (air samples, wipes, swipes, vacuum swipes, swabs, etc.), there are several assumptions and guidelines we follow, and we list them below: 1. Our reference guide for interpreting microbiological analytical results is the Proceedings of the International Conference of Fungi and Bacteria in Indoor Air Environments, Edited by Drs. Eckardt Johanning and Chin S. Yang. Additional references include:

a. Aerobiology, edited by Muilenberg and Burge, CRC Press (1996) b. Field Guide for the Determination of Biological Contaminants in Environmental Samples,

Dillon, Heinsohn, Miller, AIHA Publications (1996) c. Biosafety Reference Manual, Heinsohn, Jacobs, Concoby, AIHA Publications (1995)

d. Indoor Air and Human Health, Gammage, Kaye, Lewis Publishers, (1985) e. Indoor Air and Human Health Second Edition, Gammage, Berven, CRC Press (1996) 2. The values we use to interpret air sample data was provided by Dr. Chin Yang. He is a consulting Mycologist, and presently performs consulting work for the U.S. Public Health Service concerning Bioaerosols and Indoor Air Quality.

ADELAIDE PROJECT # YONK:18392.01-PM PS 15 Indoor Air Quality/Mold Assessment

Low: 0 to 100 CFU/m3 (limited or no effect level) Moderate: 100 to 250 CFU/M3 (minor effect level; persons with hypersensitivity, allergies or

immunosuppressed may experience an "effect".) High: 250 to 1000 CFU/m3 (effect level for the average or normal healthy adult; the effects

vary from minor discomfort to lost job time) Very High: 1000 CFU/m3 and above (noticeable odor, growth, illness etc.; a decontamination

strategy is normally required.) The levels are guideline levels. There is NO law or legal requirement to do anything based on the above levels. They are OPINIONS. 3. Why perform microbiological testing if it is so inaccurate, the data is subject to "opinion", and there is no legal requirement? Again, all we can offer is another opinion. When it comes to a person's health and well-being, we like having as much data as possible to determine if a person is "at risk" from the conditions in the workplace. Microbiological testing provides enough data to determine if there is a potential risk from exposure to bioaerosols. When the numbers are above "low", you then take into account the individuals affected, i.e., their medical history, and make a judgment. Although bodies such as the ACGIH do not give numerical guidelines, a Canadian guide on office buildings based on five years of investigation of 50 air-conditioned federal government buildings (Nathanson, 1993) includes some guidance on numbers. The following are the main points:

a. The "normal" air flora should be quantitatively lower than, but qualitatively similar to, that of outdoor air.

b. The presence of one or more fungal species at significant levels in indoor but not outdoor samples is evidence of an indoor amplifier.

c. Pathogenic fungi such as Aspergillus fumigatus, Histoplasma and Cryptococcus should not be present in significant numbers.

d. The persistence of toxigenic molds such as Stachybotrys atra and Aspergillus versicolor in significant numbers requires investigation /action.

e. More than 50 CFU/m3 (10,000 CFU/g) may be of concern if there is only a single species present (other than certain common outdoor phylloplane fungi); up to 150 CFU/m3 (30,000 CFU/g) is acceptable if the species present reflect the flora outdoors; up to 500 CFU/m3 (50,000) is acceptable in summer if outdoor leaf-inhabiting fungi are the main components.

3.0 Disclaimers Adelaide certifies that the information contained within this report is based solely upon site observations and the results of laboratory analysis for samples collected during this survey/assessment. These observations and results are time dependent, subject to changing site conditions and revisions to Federal, State and Local regulations. Adelaide warrants that these findings have been promulgated after being prepared in general accordance with generally accepted practices in the abatement industries. Adelaide also recognizes that inspection laboratory data is not usually sufficient to make all abatement and management decisions. No other warranties are expressed or implied.

Reporting Limit The Reporting Limit is the lowest number of spores that can be detected based on the total volume of the sample collected and the percentage of the

slide that is counted. At Hayes Microbial, 100% of the slide is read so the LOD is based solely on the total volume. Raw spore counts that exceed 500spores will be estimated.

Blanks Results have not been corrected for field or laboratory blanks.

Background The Background is the amount of debris that is present in the sample. This debris consists of skin cells, dirt, dust, pollen, drywall dust and other organicand non-organic matter. As the background density increases, the likelihood of spores, especially small spores such as those of Aspergillus andPenicillium may be obscured. The background is rated on a scale of 1 to 4 and each level is determined as follows: ND : No background detected. (Pump or cassette malfunction.) Recollect sample.1 : <5% of field occluded. No spores will be uncountable.2 : 5-25% of field occluded.3 : 25-75% of field occluded.4 : 75-90% of field occluded.5 : >90% of field occluded. Suggest recollection of sample.

Fragments Fragments are small pieces of fungal mycelium or spores. They are not identifiable as to type and when present in very large numbers, may indicate

the presence of mold amplification.

Indoor/OutdoorComparisons

There are no national standards for the numbers of fungal spores that may be present in the indoor environment. As a general rule and guideline that iswidely accepted in the indoor air quality field, the numbers and types of spores that are present in the indoor environment should not exceed those thatare present outdoors at any given time. There will always be some mold spores present in "normal" indoor environments. The purpose of sampling andcounting spores is to help determine whether an abnormal condition exists within the indoor environment and if it does, to help pinpoint the area ofcontamination. Spore counts should not be used as the sole determining factor of mold contamination. There are many factors that can causeanomalies in the comparison of indoor and outdoor samples due to the dynamic nature of both of those environments.

Water Damage Indicators These molds are commonly seen in conditions of prolonged water intrusion and usually indicate a problem.

Common Allergens Although all molds are potential allergens, these are the most common allergens that may be found indoors.

Slightly Higher than Outside Air The spore count is slightly higher than the outside count and may or may not indicate a source of contamination.

Significantly Higher than Outside Air The spore count is significantly higher than the outdoor count and probably indicates a source of contamination.

Ratio Abnormality The types of spores found indoors should be similar to the ones that were identified in the outdoor sample. Significant increases (more than25%) in the ratio of a particular spore type may indicate the presence of abnormal levels of mold, even if the total number of spores of thattype is lower in the indoor environment than it was outdoors.

Color Note Fungi that are present in indoor samples at levels lower than 200 per cubic meter are not color coded on the report, unless they are one of the water

damage indicators.

Alternaria

Habitat: Commonly found outdoors in soil and decaying plants. Indoors, it is commonly found on window sills and other horizontal surfaces.

Health Effects: A common allergen and has been associated with hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Alternaria is capable of producing toxic metabolites whichmay be associated with disease in humans or animals. Occasionally an agent of onychomycosis, ulcerated cutaneous infection and chronicsinusitis, principally in the immunocompromised patient.

Ascospores

Habitat: A large group consisting of more than 3000 species of fungi. Common plant pathogens and outdoor numbers become very high followingrain. Most of the genera are indistinguishable by spore trap analysis and are combined on the report.

Health Effects: Health affects are poorly studied, but many are likely to be allergenic.

Aspergillus|Penicillium

Habitat: The most common fungi isolated from the environment. Very common in soil and on decaying plant material. Are able to grow well indoorson a wide variety of substrates.

Health Effects: This group contains common allergens and many can cause hypersensitivity pneumonitis. They may cause extrinsic asthma, and many are

opportunistic pathogens. Many species produce mycotoxins which may be associated with disease in humans and other animals. Toxinproduction is dependent on the species, the food source, competition with other organisms, and other environmental conditions.

Basidiospores

Habitat: A common group of Fungi that includes the mushrooms and bracket fungi. They are saprophytes and plant pathogens. In wet conditions theycan cause structural damage to buildings.

Health Effects: Common allergens and are also associated with hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

Cladosporium

Habitat: One of the most common genera worldwide. Found in soil and plant debris and on the leaf surfaces of living plants. The outdoor numbersare lower in the winter and often relatively high in the summer, especially in high humidity. The outdoor numbers often spike in the lateafternoon and evening. Indoors, it can be found growing on textiles, wood, sheetrock, moist window sills and in HVAC supply ducts.

Health Effects: A common allergen, producing more than 10 allergenic antigens and a common cause of hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

Curvularia

Habitat: They exist in soil and plant debris, and are plant pathogens.

Health Effects: They are allergenic and a common cause of allergic fungal sinusitis. An occasional cause of human infection, including keratitis, sinusitis,onychomycosis, mycetoma, pneumonia, endocarditis and desseminated infection, primarily in the immunocompromised.

Epicoccum

Habitat: It is found in soil and plant litter and is a plant pathogen. It can grow indoors on a variety of substrates, including paper and textiles and iscommonly found on wet drywall.

Health Effects: It is a common allergen. No cases of infection have been reported in humans.

Myxomycetes

Habitat: Found on decaying plant material and as a plant pathogen.

Health Effects: Some allergenic properties reported, but generally pose no health concerns to humans. Pestalotiopsis

Habitat: Found in soil and occasionally on plants. Some species can break down plastics.

Health Effects: No known health effects. Allergenic properties are poorly studied. Pithomyces

Habitat: Common fungus isolated from soil, decaying plant material. Rarely found indoors.

Reporting Limit The Reporting Limit is the lowest number of spores that can be detected based on the total volume of the sample collected and the percentage of the

slide that is counted. At Hayes Microbial, 100% of the slide is read so the LOD is based solely on the total volume. Raw spore counts that exceed 500spores will be estimated.

Blanks Results have not been corrected for field or laboratory blanks.

Background The Background is the amount of debris that is present in the sample. This debris consists of skin cells, dirt, dust, pollen, drywall dust and other organicand non-organic matter. As the background density increases, the likelihood of spores, especially small spores such as those of Aspergillus andPenicillium may be obscured. The background is rated on a scale of 1 to 4 and each level is determined as follows: ND : No background detected. (Pump or cassette malfunction.) Recollect sample.1 : <5% of field occluded. No spores will be uncountable.2 : 5-25% of field occluded.3 : 25-75% of field occluded.4 : 75-90% of field occluded.5 : >90% of field occluded. Suggest recollection of sample.

Fragments Fragments are small pieces of fungal mycelium or spores. They are not identifiable as to type and when present in very large numbers, may indicate

the presence of mold amplification.

Indoor/OutdoorComparisons

There are no national standards for the numbers of fungal spores that may be present in the indoor environment. As a general rule and guideline that iswidely accepted in the indoor air quality field, the numbers and types of spores that are present in the indoor environment should not exceed those thatare present outdoors at any given time. There will always be some mold spores present in "normal" indoor environments. The purpose of sampling andcounting spores is to help determine whether an abnormal condition exists within the indoor environment and if it does, to help pinpoint the area ofcontamination. Spore counts should not be used as the sole determining factor of mold contamination. There are many factors that can causeanomalies in the comparison of indoor and outdoor samples due to the dynamic nature of both of those environments.

Water Damage Indicators These molds are commonly seen in conditions of prolonged water intrusion and usually indicate a problem.

Common Allergens Although all molds are potential allergens, these are the most common allergens that may be found indoors.

Slightly Higher than Outside Air The spore count is slightly higher than the outside count and may or may not indicate a source of contamination.

Significantly Higher than Outside Air The spore count is significantly higher than the outdoor count and probably indicates a source of contamination.

Ratio Abnormality The types of spores found indoors should be similar to the ones that were identified in the outdoor sample. Significant increases (more than25%) in the ratio of a particular spore type may indicate the presence of abnormal levels of mold, even if the total number of spores of thattype is lower in the indoor environment than it was outdoors.

Color Note Fungi that are present in indoor samples at levels lower than 200 per cubic meter are not color coded on the report, unless they are one of the water

damage indicators.

Alternaria

Habitat: Commonly found outdoors in soil and decaying plants. Indoors, it is commonly found on window sills and other horizontal surfaces.

Health Effects: A common allergen and has been associated with hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Alternaria is capable of producing toxic metabolites whichmay be associated with disease in humans or animals. Occasionally an agent of onychomycosis, ulcerated cutaneous infection and chronicsinusitis, principally in the immunocompromised patient.

Ascospores

Habitat: A large group consisting of more than 3000 species of fungi. Common plant pathogens and outdoor numbers become very high followingrain. Most of the genera are indistinguishable by spore trap analysis and are combined on the report.

Health Effects: Health affects are poorly studied, but many are likely to be allergenic.

Aspergillus|Penicillium

Habitat: The most common fungi isolated from the environment. Very common in soil and on decaying plant material. Are able to grow well indoorson a wide variety of substrates.

Health Effects: This group contains common allergens and many can cause hypersensitivity pneumonitis. They may cause extrinsic asthma, and many are

opportunistic pathogens. Many species produce mycotoxins which may be associated with disease in humans and other animals. Toxinproduction is dependent on the species, the food source, competition with other organisms, and other environmental conditions.

Basidiospores

Habitat: A common group of Fungi that includes the mushrooms and bracket fungi. They are saprophytes and plant pathogens. In wet conditions theycan cause structural damage to buildings.

Health Effects: Common allergens and are also associated with hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

Cladosporium

Habitat: One of the most common genera worldwide. Found in soil and plant debris and on the leaf surfaces of living plants. The outdoor numbersare lower in the winter and often relatively high in the summer, especially in high humidity. The outdoor numbers often spike in the lateafternoon and evening. Indoors, it can be found growing on textiles, wood, sheetrock, moist window sills and in HVAC supply ducts.

Health Effects: A common allergen, producing more than 10 allergenic antigens and a common cause of hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

Curvularia

Habitat: They exist in soil and plant debris, and are plant pathogens.

Health Effects: They are allergenic and a common cause of allergic fungal sinusitis. An occasional cause of human infection, including keratitis, sinusitis,onychomycosis, mycetoma, pneumonia, endocarditis and desseminated infection, primarily in the immunocompromised.

Epicoccum

Habitat: It is found in soil and plant litter and is a plant pathogen. It can grow indoors on a variety of substrates, including paper and textiles and iscommonly found on wet drywall.

Health Effects: It is a common allergen. No cases of infection have been reported in humans.

Fusarium

Habitat: Commonly found in soil and plant debris and some species are plant pathogens. It is occasionally found indoors on a variety of substratesand in humidifiers, and requires very moist conditions.

Health Effects: Reported to be allergenic and several species may produce potent mycotoxins, including trichothecenes, fumonisin, and vomatoxin. It has a

history of severe toxicoses with the ingestion of contaminated grains. An occasional cause of keratitis and mycetoma and can causedisseminated infection in immunocompromised patients.

Myxomycetes

Habitat: Found on decaying plant material and as a plant pathogen.

Health Effects: Some allergenic properties reported, but generally pose no health concerns to humans. Pestalotiopsis

Habitat: Found in soil and occasionally on plants. Some species can break down plastics.

Health Effects: No known health effects. Allergenic properties are poorly studied. Pithomyces

Habitat: Common fungus isolated from soil, decaying plant material. Rarely found indoors.

Health Effects: Allergenic properties are poorly studied. No cases of infection in humans. Polythrincium

Habitat: Found in soil and occasionally on plants.

Health Effects: No known health effects. Allergenic properties are poorly studied. Torula

Habitat: Found in soil and on wood and grasses. Occasionally found growing indoors on cellulose containing materials.

Health Effects: A known allergen. No known cases of human infection.

Reporting Limit The Reporting Limit is the lowest number of spores that can be detected based on the total volume of the sample collected and the percentage of the

slide that is counted. At Hayes Microbial, 100% of the slide is read so the LOD is based solely on the total volume. Raw spore counts that exceed 500spores will be estimated.

Blanks Results have not been corrected for field or laboratory blanks.

Background The Background is the amount of debris that is present in the sample. This debris consists of skin cells, dirt, dust, pollen, drywall dust and other organicand non-organic matter. As the background density increases, the likelihood of spores, especially small spores such as those of Aspergillus andPenicillium may be obscured. The background is rated on a scale of 1 to 4 and each level is determined as follows: ND : No background detected. (Pump or cassette malfunction.) Recollect sample.1 : <5% of field occluded. No spores will be uncountable.2 : 5-25% of field occluded.3 : 25-75% of field occluded.4 : 75-90% of field occluded.5 : >90% of field occluded. Suggest recollection of sample.

Fragments Fragments are small pieces of fungal mycelium or spores. They are not identifiable as to type and when present in very large numbers, may indicate

the presence of mold amplification.

Indoor/OutdoorComparisons

There are no national standards for the numbers of fungal spores that may be present in the indoor environment. As a general rule and guideline that iswidely accepted in the indoor air quality field, the numbers and types of spores that are present in the indoor environment should not exceed those thatare present outdoors at any given time. There will always be some mold spores present in "normal" indoor environments. The purpose of sampling andcounting spores is to help determine whether an abnormal condition exists within the indoor environment and if it does, to help pinpoint the area ofcontamination. Spore counts should not be used as the sole determining factor of mold contamination. There are many factors that can causeanomalies in the comparison of indoor and outdoor samples due to the dynamic nature of both of those environments.

Water Damage Indicators These molds are commonly seen in conditions of prolonged water intrusion and usually indicate a problem.

Common Allergens Although all molds are potential allergens, these are the most common allergens that may be found indoors.

Slightly Higher than Outside Air The spore count is slightly higher than the outside count and may or may not indicate a source of contamination.

Significantly Higher than Outside Air The spore count is significantly higher than the outdoor count and probably indicates a source of contamination.

Ratio Abnormality The types of spores found indoors should be similar to the ones that were identified in the outdoor sample. Significant increases (more than25%) in the ratio of a particular spore type may indicate the presence of abnormal levels of mold, even if the total number of spores of thattype is lower in the indoor environment than it was outdoors.

Color Note Fungi that are present in indoor samples at levels lower than 200 per cubic meter are not color coded on the report, unless they are one of the water

damage indicators.

Alternaria

Habitat: Commonly found outdoors in soil and decaying plants. Indoors, it is commonly found on window sills and other horizontal surfaces.

Health Effects: A common allergen and has been associated with hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Alternaria is capable of producing toxic metabolites whichmay be associated with disease in humans or animals. Occasionally an agent of onychomycosis, ulcerated cutaneous infection and chronicsinusitis, principally in the immunocompromised patient.

Ascospores

Habitat: A large group consisting of more than 3000 species of fungi. Common plant pathogens and outdoor numbers become very high followingrain. Most of the genera are indistinguishable by spore trap analysis and are combined on the report.

Health Effects: Health affects are poorly studied, but many are likely to be allergenic.

Aspergillus|Penicillium

Habitat: The most common fungi isolated from the environment. Very common in soil and on decaying plant material. Are able to grow well indoorson a wide variety of substrates.

Health Effects: This group contains common allergens and many can cause hypersensitivity pneumonitis. They may cause extrinsic asthma, and many are

opportunistic pathogens. Many species produce mycotoxins which may be associated with disease in humans and other animals. Toxinproduction is dependent on the species, the food source, competition with other organisms, and other environmental conditions.

Basidiospores

Habitat: A common group of Fungi that includes the mushrooms and bracket fungi. They are saprophytes and plant pathogens. In wet conditions theycan cause structural damage to buildings.

Health Effects: Common allergens and are also associated with hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

Cladosporium

Habitat: One of the most common genera worldwide. Found in soil and plant debris and on the leaf surfaces of living plants. The outdoor numbersare lower in the winter and often relatively high in the summer, especially in high humidity. The outdoor numbers often spike in the lateafternoon and evening. Indoors, it can be found growing on textiles, wood, sheetrock, moist window sills and in HVAC supply ducts.

Health Effects: A common allergen, producing more than 10 allergenic antigens and a common cause of hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

Curvularia

Habitat: They exist in soil and plant debris, and are plant pathogens.

Health Effects: They are allergenic and a common cause of allergic fungal sinusitis. An occasional cause of human infection, including keratitis, sinusitis,onychomycosis, mycetoma, pneumonia, endocarditis and desseminated infection, primarily in the immunocompromised.

Epicoccum

Habitat: It is found in soil and plant litter and is a plant pathogen. It can grow indoors on a variety of substrates, including paper and textiles and iscommonly found on wet drywall.

Health Effects: It is a common allergen. No cases of infection have been reported in humans.

Myxomycetes

Habitat: Found on decaying plant material and as a plant pathogen.

Health Effects: Some allergenic properties reported, but generally pose no health concerns to humans. Pithomyces

Habitat: Common fungus isolated from soil, decaying plant material. Rarely found indoors.

Health Effects: Allergenic properties are poorly studied. No cases of infection in humans. Stachybotrys

Habitat: Commonly found in soil and on decaying plant material. It is cellulolytic, and can be found indoors on wet materials containing cellulose,such as wallboard, ceiling tile, and other paper-based materials. It is found outdoors on decaying plant material although it is rarely detectedon outdoor air samples.

Health Effects: Allergenic properties are poorly studied and no cases of infection have been reported in humans. They are capable of producing potent

tricothecene mycotoxins. The toxins produced by this fungus can suppress the immune system affecting the lymphoid tissue and the bonemarrow. The mycotoxin is also reported to be a liver and kidney carcinogen.

Torula

Habitat: Found in soil and on wood and grasses. Occasionally found growing indoors on cellulose containing materials.

Health Effects: A known allergen. No known cases of human infection.
