Method, Apparatus and System for the for Collection and Quantification of Mycotoxins within the Built Environment

Abstract

-15- Abstract A method of collection of a mycotoxin sample from an air space of an indoor environment, the method may include conditioning air, such as with an air agitator, within an air space to provide conditioned air representative of air exposed to a person within the indoor environment and sampling the air such as by filtering the conditioned air at a height within the airspace further representative of air exposed to a person within the indoor environment so as to obtain the mycotoxin sample from the conditioned air at the height. The sampling may be undertaken at a rate representative of a human respiratory rate. The mycotoxin sample may be collected by the filter and then extracted, or otherwise obtained, from the filter for identification mycotoxins that may be present in the air space. An apparatus and a system for the method are also disclosed. -15- Abstract 20 26 21 08 71 03 A ug 2 02 6 A b s t r a c t 2 0 2 6 2 1 0 8 7 1 0 3 2 0 2 6 A u g
