Project description

Samples (air, mycelium and surface samples) will be collected in fungi contaminated buildings and analyzed on mycotoxines. Therefore a LC/MS/MS method will be used that simultaneous follows 16 mycotoxins. These data will be used to chart the mycotoxin production in these buildings and will be related to the 'sick building syndrome'.
