Laboratory studies on the relationship between fungal growth and atmospheric temperature and humidity
AbstractThe effect of air temperature (4–30°C) and relative humidity (RH 11–96%) on the growth of two common fungi Aspergillus fumigatus and Penicillium sp. was studied in the laboratory. A short period of favorable conditions was sufficient to start fungal growth. Temperature was not a limiting factor for fungal growth on building materials, because fungi grew at even below 10°C. The relative humidity of air had no direct influence on the growth of fungi. Fungi may grow at very low levels of air humidity if water is available on the surface. Thus, repeated or persistent moisture condensation or water leakage is sufficient for fungal germination and growth on building materials.
