Spores are found year-round in Central Texas because a fairly humid environment and abundant decomposing plant life create the ideal environment for them.
Mold spores are light, microscopic, and wind distributed.
There can be thousands of spores in a single air sample. For this reason, KVUE does not provide a specific count as we do with pollen. Rather, there is a daily classification of Low, Medium, or High, based on levels that are inherent to our part of the country. KVUE samples for outdoor allergens and does not sample for the indoor allergens that have become a concern due to recent news coverage.
