Abstract
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the Environmental Relative Moldiness Index (ERMI) values in the Department of Housing and Urban Development American Healthy Homes Survey (AHHS) homes and an alternative analysis frequently used in mold investigations, i.e., the inspector's "walk-through" assessment of visual or olfactory evidence of mold combined with occupant's answers to a questionnaire about mold odors and moisture. Homes in the highest ERMI quartile were in agreement with visual inspection and/or occupant assessment 48% of the time but failed to detect the mold in 52% of the fourth quartile homes. In about 7% of lowest ERMI quartile homes, the inspection and occupant assessments overestimated the mold problem. The ERMI analysis of dust from homes may be useful in finding hidden mold problems. An additional objective was to compare the ERMI values in inner city east-Baltimore homes, where childhood asthma is common, to the AHHS randomly selected homes.
摘要
本研究的主要目的是评估美国住房和城市发展部（Department of Housing and Urban Development）的美国健康家庭调查（American Healthy Homes Survey，AHHS）中住房环境相对霉菌指数（Environmental Relative Moldiness Index，ERMI）值与霉菌调查中常用的替代分析方法（即检查员对霉菌的视觉或嗅觉证据进行“走查”评估，结合居住者对霉菌气味和湿度的问卷回答）之间的相关性。在 ERMI 值最高的四分位组中，有 48%的房屋与视觉检查和/或居住者评估结果相符，但在第四四分位组的房屋中，有 52%的房屋未能检测到霉菌。在 ERMI 值最低的四分位组的大约 7%的房屋中，检查和居住者的评估结果高估了霉菌问题。从房屋灰尘中进行 ERMI 分析可能有助于发现隐藏的霉菌问题。另一个目标是将东巴尔的摩市（Baltimore）内城儿童哮喘常见地区的 ERMI 值与 AHHS 随机选择的房屋进行比较。
