This publication contains 39 papers presented at the international workshop on "Health implications of fungi in indoor environments" held on 9-13 Nov., 1992, in Baarn, Netherlands. Main topics include current methodology for the isolation and enumeration of fungi in non-industrial indoor environments, the fungal flora of non-industrial indoor environments, health implications of fungal allergens and metabolites (mycotoxins and fungal volatiles), and the physics of interior finishes and control of fungal growth on such finishes. A number of case studies are also presented. Conclusions and recommendations for each topic are included together in a separate chapter. Descriptions of 20 common indoor moulds and a list of media for their isolation and cultivation are given in 2 appendices. A subject index is also provided.
