ERMI Groups
ERMI stands for Environmental Relative Mouldiness Index. This is a scale used to understand the levels of mould in your home, office or whatever environment you're testing.
In order to calculate the ERMI for your mould sample we group the species of mould found into two groups; Group I being moulds associated with water damage and Group II being moulds not associate with water damage. A simple calculation is then performed based on the outcome of the analysis of your mould sample.
Below is a list of the mould species associated with the two groups.
