Standards Development
This part of 16000 describes the measurement of fungal material by enzymatic biochemical analysis. It describes a rapid quantitative method to determine the total fungal material in air, on surfaces or in material samples by measuring a naturally occurring enzyme found in the chitinolytic system of all filamentous fungi (-N-acetyl hexosaminidase or NAHA).
It describes the analytical procedure that can be performed in on site or in a lab and refers to applicable sampling procedures for air and surfaces.
This method does not enumerate or differentiate genera or species of fungi.
This proposal will document a rapid biochemical method for determining total fungi in air, on surfaces or in materials that is not currently described in other standard documents. Rapid analysis will aid the user in quickly assessing contamination and remediation effectiveness, where identification of fungal genera is not necessary. Quick assessment will expedite the project ad minimize costs associated with delays.
