The main topics of this book include current methodology for the isolation and enumeration of fungi in non-industrial indoor environments, health implications of fungal allergens and metabolites (mycotoxins and fungal volatiles), and the physics of interior finishes and control of fungal growth on such finishes. Short descriptions and illustrations of 20 common and important species are also provided.
