Dampness in buildings has been linked to adverse health effects, but the specific causative agents are unknown. Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by molds and toxic to higher vertebrates. In this study, mass spectrometry was used to demonstrate the presence

Highly respirable particles (diameter, <1 microm) constitute the majority of particulate matter found in indoor air. It is hypothesized that these particles serve as carriers for toxic compounds, specifically the compounds produced by molds in water-damaged buildings. The presence of

Verrucarol is a simple trichothecene which is structurally related to T-2 and HT-2 toxins. Several macrocyclic trichothecenes which are ester derivatives of verrucarol possess antitumor activity. The pharmacokinetics of verrucarol has been studied in eight dogs following iv and oral

A strain of Stachybotrys atra isolated from a field case of stachybotryotoxicosis in Hungary was cultured in Hungary. All of the compounds toxic to brine shrimp were separated from the culture extract by solvent partition, column chromatography, and preparative thin-layer
