Dampness, mould, and respiratory concern
Study basis
Mendell et al. 2011
Published evidence links indoor dampness or mould with multiple respiratory and allergic outcomes, while also noting limits around measured microbiologic factors.
Testing route
Aerolyse can record property observations, photographs, selected mould swabs, and suitable air testing where the property issue needs clearer evidence.
Record value
The report supports property records only for the sampled locations and should be read with the testing compliance limits. View the study on PubMed.

Water damage and contamination records
Study basis
Mudarri and Fisk 2007
Published work on dampness and mould highlights public-health and economic impact, supporting the importance of moisture control and clear records.
Testing route
Where a leak, flood, sewage backflow, or contaminated water event affects surfaces, bacterial swab testing can be used at agreed sample points.
Record value
The report can support cleaning, reinstatement, insurance, and follow-up checks, without replacing remediation duties. View the study on PubMed.

NAHA testing and post-remediation checks
Study basis
Aktas et al. 2020
A preliminary English residential study used NAHA measurements to investigate normal background air and surface mould reserve.
Testing route
Aerolyse can agree target surfaces or rooms and use post-remediation verification to document sampled areas after works.
Record value
The report can support close-out records while making clear that unsampled areas are not guaranteed. View the study on PubMed.
