statistically significant associations were observed between real-time FAC and airborne NAHA levels, which detected significant reductions in airborne fungal loads immediately following building rehabilitations. With lower confidence, a statistically significant association was also resolved between fluorescing aerosols, NAHA levels, and the recovery of fungal 18S rRNA gene copies by qPCR from simultaneous, collocated aerosol samples. Quantitative differences encountered between the recovery of common genomic markers for airborne fungi and that of optical and biochemical methods are attributed to the variance in 18S rRNA target gene copies that different fungal species can host.
