ERMI Explained: Why a High Score Doesn't Always Mean Mold Problems
In this episode of Molds, Mycotoxins, and More, I break down one of the most misunderstood tools in mold testing: the ERMI test. We explore how ERMI was developed, what it actually measures, and why its results can be influenced by sampling methods, dust accumulation, geography, and seasonal changes. I also explain the strengths of DNA-based testing, its limitations, and why no single mold test should be used alone when making remediation decisions. Based on the discussion, ERMI is best viewed as one piece of a larger investigation rather than a definitive answer.
