PollyKit Mold Air Testing
Home Mold Test Kit: Test the Air You Breathe
PollyKit samples airborne mold spores in your home, so you see what you're actually inhaling, not just what's sitting on a surface.
Air Testing vs. Surface Swabs and Petri Dishes
Surface swabs only show what's on the one spot you swabbed. Petri dishes only grow the spores that happen to land and thrive in that dish, and many common spores don't grow well that way.
Air testing samples what's floating in the air you breathe. Those airborne spores are the ones that reach your nose and lungs and can trigger symptoms.
How PollyKit Mold Testing Works
Place the sampler in the room you're concerned about for 24–48 hours, then send it back in the prepaid return mailer. A lab reviews the sample under an optical microscope, and you get your report by email within 24–48 hours of lab receipt.
When to Consider a Mold Air Test
Consider one if your symptoms are worse at home, flare after monsoon storms, or continue even though your allergy test reactions were mild. Testing a room next to an outdoor sample shows whether the indoor air differs from the outdoor air.
PollyKit identifies airborne spores present at a specific time and location. If you suspect mold in your home, an in-home inspection is always recommended.
