Home / Mold Testing / EMMA Testing
The Environmental Mold and Mycotoxin Assessment, or EMMA, looks for mycotoxins as well as molds. It is the test clients usually ask for when their doctor wants to know about mold-related exposure in the home.
What EMMA Testing Measures
Like ERMI, EMMA uses DNA-based analysis of dust collected from the home. Where ERMI covers 36 mold species, EMMA tests for 10 molds and 16 mycotoxins, the toxic compounds some molds produce. The benefit is information about the mycotoxins, not just the molds.
Who orders EMMA
- Clients with a doctor's request for mold and mycotoxin information about their home.
- Households with ongoing symptoms that want more than a spore count.
- Anyone following up an inspection where water damage or growth was found.
We usually pair it with a mold assessment so the sample is collected in the right place.
