Summary
One hundred and fifty-two fungal isolates from the air spores of 503 damp, mouldy dwellings in Glasgow and Edinburgh, Scotland, were screened for cytotoxicity against a human embryonic diploid fibrobast lung cell line. At least 37% of the isolates, principally of the genus Penicillium, showed toxicity to the cells.
