Résumé
The Environmental Relative Moldiness Index (ERMI) is a scale used to compare mold contamination levels in U.S. homes. To create the ERMI scale, a nationally representative set of U.S. homes was selected (n = 1,096). From each of these homes, a standard vacuum-dust sample was collected and then 36 common molds, the 26 Group 1 and 10 Group 2 molds, as grouped for forming the ERMI metric, were quantified using quantitative PCR assays. However, in investigations of mold in homes, it is not always practical or even possible to collect dust using the standard vacuum method. Therefore, we performed a comparative study of dust samples collected in the same homes (n = 151) by the standard vacuum method and by an electrostatic cloth (EC) method. First, floor dust was collected by vacuuming a 2 m
