3.2 Properties of MVOCs In the second part of the process, a second exhaustive study was conducted, this time with the goal of compiling the physicochemical and pharmacokinetic parameters of the MVOCs identified in the first part. [...] All of the MVOCs were screened on the basis of emitting fungal species and on the basis of substrate used in the studies. [...] The range of MVOC concentrations reported in the air varies considerably, depending on several parameters (Table A 1, Appendix A), including the degree of ventilation of the premises (Malta- Vacas, Viegas, Sabino and Viegas, 2012), the state of development of the mould, the mould concentrations on the premises, the type of place (housing, industrial facility, etc.) and the extent of the damage (in. [...] The combination of the 21 MVOCs remaining at level 4 and the 34 MVOCs recovered from level 2 brought the number of selected MVOCs to 55 (tables 4 and 5) out of the 548 identified at the start (a 90% reduction). [...] The greater the number, specificity and concentrations of MVOCs in the blood, the greater the confidence in fungal contamination.
