Like the pollen count, the mold spore count is included in the Daily Air Quality Report.  Mold spores are airborne fungi that are released from mold, and airborne concentrations are highest after rain.  Some types of mold spores are more allergenic than others, and the type of mold spore present in the air is more important to the sufferer than the actual mold spore count.

To track historical patterns of mold counts check out the Bureau's online archives.

The Bureau's Air Monitoring Department provides information from its monitoring activities in the Daily Air Quality Report which includes the air quality level, the burning status, and the pollen and mold spore counts.  The Daily Air Quality Report is placed on a telephone recording available to the public at (423) 643-5971 or click here.
