Abstract
Airborne viable mould spore counts were determined for living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms within 503 council houses in Edinburgh and Glasgow (UK); at least one child lived in each house. Approximately one‐half of the 1709 rooms sampled contained 300 cfu m‐3, indicating a positive relationship between surface growth and air spore levels. The most common genera isolated from internal surfaces (including those from a further 22 London houses) were identified.Keywords
