Satratoxin G and H measured in indoor air of a water-damaged dwelling

Gottschalk C, Bauer J, Meyer K (2008) · Mycopathologia 166(2):103–107

Mass-spectrometric analysis of air sampled in one water-damaged dwelling detected satratoxin G and satratoxin H at nanogram-per-cubic-meter concentrations.

What they studied

Air sampling in a residential building with documented water damage and Stachybotrys growth.

Analysis by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry for chemical confirmation of identity.

Quantification of satratoxin G and H in the collected air.

What they found

Satratoxin G was reported at 0.25 nanograms per cubic meter and satratoxin H at 0.43 nanograms per cubic meter.

Identity was reported as chemically confirmed rather than inferred from immunoassay.

The authors reported this as a measurement from a naturally contaminated dwelling.

What it does not establish

A single dwelling; the result does not indicate how common such concentrations are.

No occupant exposure or health outcome was assessed.

No health-based reference concentration exists for these compounds.

This entry reports the study. It is not a statement about any building Sage Co. designs or constructs.
