ERMI Test ā€“ Envirobiomics ā€“ Spain

The ERMI (Environmental Relative Mold Index) test was developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to provide a simple, objective, sensitive, and standardized way to evaluate mold and indoor air quality investigations. The USEPA developed the ERMI as a classification system based on dust samples collected from homes, the ERMI will help predict mold in homes. When you purchase the ERMI, you will get a HERTSMI-2 along with it.

Based on widely published data by EPA researchers and HUD's 2006 American Healthy Household Survey, the test has been developed as a tool to assess the potential risk of indoor mold growth and the associated health effects on occupants.

To use this tool most effectively, the obtained ERMI should be compared to a national database. Rates were determined using this method for 1,096 homes in the U.S. as part of the 2006 HUD American Healthy Homes Survey. Individual rates, ranked from lowest to highest, were used to create a national mold index scale. relative (RMI).

In early USEPA studies, concentrations of different mold species were compared in ā€œmold homesā€ (homes with visible mold growth or a history of water damage) and ā€œreference homesā€ (homes without visible mold). Based on those results, mold species were selected and grouped into those with higher concentrations in homes with mold (group 1) and those with lower concentrations (group 2). To calculate the ERMI, the individual concentrations of the detected mold species are log transformed and the sum of the group 2 logs is subtracted from the sum of the group 1 logs.

Types of samples:

Swiffer Fabric Sampling

A clear limitation of ERMI vacuum sampling is that many homes do not have carpeting and many people who are susceptible to mold-related illnesses have chosen to have hardwood or tile floors. As a result, the ā€œSwiffer Fabric Methodā€ was developed. The important issue in sampling is that the procedure must collect dust that is representative of the area sampled, providing a sufficient quantity of dust so that laboratory analysis can be successful.
