EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 16000-22 testing. ISO 16000-22 is a standard that provides guidelines for the detection and quantification of mold in indoor air by measuring the activity of the enzyme beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase (beta-NAG). This enzyme is produced by mold and can be used as an indicator of mold growth in indoor environments.
Mold can grow in indoor environments such as homes, offices and schools and cause a variety of health problems, including respiratory problems, allergies and infections. Detection and quantification of mold in indoor air is important for maintaining a healthy indoor environment and preventing health problems.
The beta-NAG enzyme is produced by many mold species and can be used as a marker for mold growth. The enzyme is released into the air by mold spores and hyphae (branching fibers of mold) and can be detected using special tests.
ISO 16000-22 provides guidelines for the detection and quantification of beta-NAG enzyme activity in indoor air. The standard specifies the sampling methods and equipment required for the collection of air samples, and laboratory methods for measuring beta-NAG activity in the collected samples.
The standard also provides guidance on interpreting the results of the beta-NAG enzyme activity test. Results can indicate the presence of mold growth and can be used to identify areas where mold growth may occur indoors.
Overall, ISO 16000-22 is an important standard for assessing indoor air quality and identifying potential sources of mold growth. By following the guidelines set out in this standard, building owners and operators can take proactive steps to maintain a healthy indoor environment and protect the health of building occupants.
