Pictures of mold in air vents caused alarm for students at San Diego State University living in Zura Hall. The university says it is still waiting on lab results to confirm exactly what is there.
SDSU said no one was available for an interview, but sent an email with the results of air and surface tests.
The university has received this afternoon both air and surface sample results for Zura Hall. Based on these test results, no evidence of black mold has been detected in Zura Hall. Further, all air samples measured and returned today indicate that spore levels are at normal levels, and they are also common spore types found in nature, as anticipated. The spotting identified on HVAC registers has been confirmed as a common mold that is typically found in low levels in HVAC systems.
The university continues to communicate with student residents and encourages them that regular cleaning and minimizing moisture by keeping windows closed while HVAC systems are running will help to ensure that surface spore levels remain within normal levels. Out of an abundance of caution, assessment is ongoing.also said recent rain and humidity has contributed to increased presence of visible mold growth, and explained what to do if they suspect they have mold in their rooms.
"It said if you find any cases, report it through a link," said Wezner."There are ways to get it cleaned if we find it in our room.""If something doesn't happen soon, I'll probably go somewhere else," said Wezner."I'm not trying to sleep in mold or do my work in mold."
