Airborne fungal cell fragments in homes in relation to total fungal biomass.
TL;DR: In this article, the proportion of fungal cell biomass and endotoxin in different particle size fractions in air samples from homes was assessed using a cyclone sampler, collecting particles in three aerodynamic size fractions: 1.8 µm, 1.5 µm and 1.0 µm.

Assessment of the environmental conditions in a museum storehouse by use of a fungal index
TL;DR: Fungal contamination (foxing) was detected on a painting stored in an art museum, and the indices were below the detectable limit in the storehouse indicating no fungal contamination will occur.
Mold Growth Control in Cold Attics through Adaptive Ventilation: Validation by Field Measurements
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the risk for mold growth in cold attics can be substantially reduced, and even eliminated, if the cold attic is sealed and fitted with adaptive ventilation.
