Clinical Mold Books & References - Bibliography of Mold Identification & Mold-Related Illness Texts InspectAPedia®  -     Clinical reference texts for mold related illness Clinical reference books for mold toxicity, allergenic mold, pathogenic mold Clinical references for identification of Mold Species, Pathogens, Allergens, Particles Medical Health Effects of Mold, House Dust Questions & answers about the Health Effects of Fiberglass, Animal Dander, Insect Fragments, mold etc.

This List of Texts on Clinical Mold, Pathogens, Allergens and other particles describes the medical health effects of mold and indoor particles such as animal dander, cat, dog, mouse dander and dust, asbestos, fiberglass from insulation or other sources, dust mite fecals, house dust, insect fragments, insect hairs, insect fecals, talc, and ultra fine sub micron particles. Dust from the world trade center collapse, and other particles have entries in this list.

Citations are collected from a variety of authoritative sources, primarily the authoritative "Clinical Mold and Toxic Particle References" cited in the extensive bibliography at the end of this document. References to online resources are included.

This is the one essential handbook for all who work with or are interested in fungi (including lichens, slime moulds and yeasts). This new edition, with more than 20,500 entries, provides the most complete listing of generic names of and terms used to describe fungi available. For each genus, the authority, the date of publication, status, systematic position, number of accepted species, distribution, and key references are given. Diagnoses of families, orders and higher categories are included for most groups. In addition, there are biographic notes, information on well-known metabolites and mycotoxins, and broad accounts of almost all pure and applied aspects of the subject (including citations of important literature). All information has been updated as necessary since the publication of the eighth edition in 1995. In addition the ninth edition has the following new features: a refined classification of fungal phyla reflecting the latest molecular evidence, including a major revision of the classification of the Ascomycota; a full integration of anamorphic genera in the classification; a revised synopsis of the proposed classification.
