How to do a general screening for mold in a home/ business that has a central HVAC system:
- By collecting a dust sample from the return side of a furnace filter you can perform a general screening of the area the furnace services

 With a central furnace system, conditioned (heated or a/c) air blows out the supply

register, circulates in the room and then finds its way to the return air register where it

makes its way back to the furnace to be reheated or re-air conditioned after passing

through the furnace filter. A percentage of the particles in the air, such as mold spores

and other dust contaminants, get captured and removed from the air stream by the filters

 Testing the furnace filter represents what contaminants have been circulating through the

house or zones serviced by the furnace.

 Testing the furnace filter does not specify where the mold is coming from, but it is a good

initial screening procedure to determine if further investigation is warranted.

 The return air side of the filter is the side of the filter test.
