Satratoxin G and H measured in indoor air of a water-damaged dwelling
Mass-spectrometric analysis of air sampled in one water-damaged dwelling detected satratoxin G and satratoxin H at nanogram-per-cubic-meter concentrations.
How to read this
This library reports what studies found. An entry describes a study's design, its findings in its own terms, and its limits. Nothing here is a claim about what a Sage Co. home does, delivers, or prevents.
Last reviewed August 30, 2026.
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 this study 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.
