Journal ArticleDOI
Fungi as a Cause of Allergic Disease
TL;DR: Due to the ubiquitous presence of fungi in nature and the escalating industrial exploitation of common moulds, attention must be paid to occupatiotial allergic problems as well as to allergen sources related to fungi, outside and especially inside the home.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microfungal contamination of damp buildings--examples of risk constructions and risk materials.
TL;DR: To elucidate problems with microfungal infestation in indoor environments, a multidisciplinary collaborative pilot study was performed on 72 mold-infected building materials from 23 buildings, finding products most vulnerable to mold attacks were water damaged, aged organic materials containing cellulose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of mycotoxins on artificially and naturally infested building materials.
Kristian Fog Nielsen,S. Gravesen,Peter Nielsen,Birgitte Andersen,Ulf Thrane,Jens Christian Frisvad +5 more
TL;DR: The quantities of secondary metabolites produced by Penicillia were generally low, and no toxin production was detected from any of the five isolates of Pen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dust and the Sick Building Syndrome
Finn Gyntelberg,Poul Suadicani,Jan Wohlfahrt Nielsen,Peder Skov,O. Valbjørn,Peter Nielsen,Thomas Schneider,Ole Jørgensen,Peder Wolkoff,C.K. Wilkins,S. Gravesen,Sven Norn +11 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that qualitative properties of dust are important to the sick building syndrome is supported, despite the study being based on relatively few buildings, but nevertheless strong correlations were found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of fungal spore release from wet building materials
J. Kildesø,H. Wurtz,Kristian Fog Nielsen,P. Kruse,Ken Wilkins,Ulf Thrane,S. Gravesen,Peter Nielsen,Thomas Schneider +8 more
TL;DR: In this study, the release of spores from nine species of typical indoor fungi has been measured under controlled conditions and the method was found to give very reproducible results for each fungal isolate, whereas the spore release is very different for different fungi under identical conditions.
