About Mold Levels

Absent:	0	These definitions are from the American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology and allow comparison between sites across the country.They are based on ecological measurements, not health effects. However, assuming dose/response relationships are the same across the country, the definitions are probably more appropriate than a definition based on local numbers. This does mean that, for some stations, some categories will never be high.
Low:	1 - 6499
Moderate:	6500 - 12999
High:	13000 - 49999
Very High:	>50000
