Toxicology of 1 - 3-Beta-Glucans
Glucans as a Marker for Fungal Exposure
About this book
The investigation of indoor air quality has shown that microbial contamination is often a problem in buildings. Recent evidence indicates that fungi are often a part of the picture. A component of the fungal cell wall, 1 3-glucans not only affect human health, they are a marker for the existence of fungi in environmental samples.Toxicology
