This paper compares the Allergenco volumetric collector with the Burkard model, and establishes them as equally effective, thus mak-ing them excellent tools for indoor air sampling for molds. 15.• Etzel RA: Indoor air pollutants in homes and schools. Pediatr Clin North Am 2001, 48: 1152–1165.

This paper suggests a standard for indoor sampling using the Andersen air sampler.
