ObservationsThe indoor air quality analysis shows that three out five of the rooms tested had elevated spore counts above the previous tested levels. The boy's bedroom and the master bedroom showed slight improvement in the air quality after cleaning was completed. RecommendationsAll surfaces throughout the residence should be cleaned by a professional remediation company. This should also include cleaning of all contents, in place, room by room along with the structural cleaning. This cleaning should be completed with the forced air heating system turned off. Supplemental heating can be accomplished by use of the wood stove as needed. Airscrubbers should be utilized to capture any airborne particulates. These scrubbers should be used simply for that purpose and not as negative air machines. Once the structural and content cleaning has been completed, the furnace and entire ventilation system should be professionally cleaned. Cleaning of the structure and contents shall follow all guidelines as outlined in the most recently published "S520 Standard for Mold Remediation" published by the Institute for the Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certifications(IICRC). Also, a continuous sealed vapor barrier should be installed over all dirt surfaces in the crawlspace. Once complete, follow up air quality testing should be completed to verify success of remediation. If spore levels remain high after this work is complete, then further investigation may be necessary to identify the possibility of contamination within the exterior walls. ?FUNGAL INSPECTION REPORT1/28/2009Report prepared for:Jim KnoelkeFacility Manager - District OperationsYellowstone National Park On January 21, 2010, a fungal inspection and subsequent indoor air quality tests were performed at 380 Lower Mammoth to identify the possible presence of fungal contamination. ObservationsThe residence appears to be kept very clean. It did not have as serious of a problem with condensation in the windows as was observed in other residences. A small amount of apparent fungal growth was observed in the bathroom shower. This fungal growth was identified microscopically as Aureobasidium. Water damage around the windows was not obvious as in other units. The indoor air quality analysis showed moderate to highly elevated spore counts in all areas tested. The basement(6480), living room(4253), master bedroom(3440) and guest bedroom(3053) are all elevated above the outside (background) sample of 640 spores per cubic meter of air. These results can be seen on the spore trap analysis report. Relative humidity levels were within acceptable standards for this region.Relative Humidity & Temperatures(taken during inspection) LocationRelative HumidityTemperature (Fahrenheit) Master Bedroom36.7%69.1 degreesLiving Room37.0%69.4 degreesBasement42.6%64.5 degreesGuest Bedroom37.2%69.1 degreesOutside22.7%28.0 degrees RecommendationsLiving Area:All surfaces throughout the residence should be cleaned by a professional remediation company.

ObservationsThe residence appears to be kept very clean. It did not have as serious of a problem with condensation in the windows as was observed in other residences. A small amount of apparent fungal growth was observed in both bathrooms as well as the southwest bedroom window. Water damage around the windows was not obvious as in other units. Relative humidity levels were at an acceptable level except for the living room where a humidifier was being used in conjunction with the piano.
