Mold Analysis Reports before and after the installation of American-Lights™ in the residential HVAC system and continuous running of the fan show a total elimination of three types of mold spores and a dramatically reduced level of the most resistant type mold in the indoor air. On April 4, 2003 the air samples collected by Indoor Air Quality, a Hardeeville, SC company, were analyzed for mold and mold spores counts at: PRO-LAB/SSPTM INC. 3300 Corporate Avenue, Bldg., 112 Weston, Florida 33331 800-427-0550 The report showed a total mold spores count of 1,400 per m³. Mold Analysis Report 04/04/03 After the initial air samples were collected, an American-Lights™ Germicidal UV Air Cleanser was installed in the HVAC system. The germicidal UV light and the fan of the HVAC system were on 24/7 for two weeks before the next air samples were collected and sent to the PRO-LAB/SSPTM. On April 18, 2003 the second air samples were analyzed and the respective report showed that three types of mold were eliminated and the one remaining type of mold spores counted 160 per m³. Mold Analysis Report 04/18/03 This is a decrease of 88.56% over a short, 2 week period. The resulting mold levels are either zero or negligibly low and as the American-Lights™ UV Air Cleanser works on a cumulative basis, it can be concluded that they will continue to diminish over time.

General characterization of mold is made with respect to their most common impact to human health. Many genus of molds have species with varying characteristics. Spore Name Cladosporium Description COMMONLY FOUND ON DEAD PLANTS, WOODY PLANTS, FOOD, STRAW, SOIL, PAINT AND TEXTILES. COMMON CAUSE OF EXTRINSIC ASTHMA (IMMEDIATE-TYPE HYPERSENSITIVITY: TYPE I). ACUTE SYMPTOMS INCLUDE EDEMA AND BRONCHIOSPASMS; CHRONIC CASES MAY DEVELOP PULMONARY EMPHYSEMA. REPORTED TO BE ALLERGENIC. Curvularia REPORTED TO BE ALLERGENIC. IT MAY CAUSE CORNEAL INFECTIONS, MYCETOMA AND INFECTIONS IN IMMUNE COMPROMISED HOSTS. Hyphae PIECES OF FUNGAL ORGANISMS THAT CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED AS TO WHAT GENUS THEY ARE FROM. THEY CAN BE CONSIDERED ALLERGENIC AND ARE INDICATIVE OF ACTIVE GROWTH IN THE SAMPLING VACINITY. Penicillium/Aspergillus THIS GROUP OF SPORES IS CONSIDERED COMMON TO INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS. COMMONLY FOUND IN SOIL, FOOD, CELLULOSE, AND ALSO CONSIDERED A COMMON CONTAMINANT OF FOOD. IT IS ALSO FOUND IN PAINT AND COMPOST PILES. IT MAY CAUSE HYPERSENSITIVITY PNEUMONITIS AND ALLERGIC ALVEOLITIS IN SUSCEPTIBLE INDIVIDUALS. IT IS REPORTED TO BE ALLERGENIC. COMMON CAUSE OF EXTRINSIC ASTHMA (IMMEDIATE-TYPE HYPERSENSITIVITY: TYPE I). ACUTE SYMPTOMS INCLUDE EDEMA AND BRONCHIOSPASMS; CHRONIC CASES MAY DEVELOP PULMONARY EMPHYSEMA. MANY SPECIES PRODUCE MYCOTOXINS, WHICH MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH DISEASE IN HUMANS AND OTHER ANIMALS. TOXIC PRODUCTION IS DEPENDENT ON THE SPECIES OR A STRAIN WITHIN A SPECIES AN ON THE FOOD SOURCE FOR THE FUNGUS.
