THE VIABLE MOLD TEST
To perform air quality tests, place one Viable Mold Test Kit outside and one Viable Mold Test Kit in each room of your home you wish to test with the lids open; after one hour, close the lids on the kits. In about three to seven days, you will probably see mold growing in the kits. Compare the indoor kits with the outdoor kit looking for differences in types of mold or quantity of mold. If you have different types of mold growing in the indoor kits than in the outdoor kit or if you have more mold growing in the indoor kits than in the outdoor kit, the laboratory recommends that you send the kits back to our laboratory for analysis
