Discarding is usually not necessary in order to keeppeople healthy.o The air flow over mold contaminating the inside of airconveyance devices will produce toxin containing microfragmentsthat are not detectable by spore count procedures. Thisequipment must be visually inspected to confirm its cleanliness.40
