Focus on moulds
What is mould?
What are the main types and species of mould?
Scientists agree that there are more than one and a half million species of moulds, of which about one hundred thousand have been precisely identified. Only an identification by laboratory analysis can determine exactly what type of mould you are dealing with.
Who are we ?
YOOTEST was born from the observation that pollution of the indoor environment of homes and professional premises is widespread and seriously harms human health.
