Double blind placebo controlled exposure to molds: exposure system and clinical results
Indoor Air
In: Indoor Air, 2005.
Editorial summary
A controlled human-exposure system derived from the Particle-FLEC delivered aerosolized spores from mould-growing building materials to eight sensitive participants in a blinded placebo comparison. The exposure system achieved realistic, tightly controlled doses, while the small clinical experiment found no clear increase in responses beyond placebo.

FLEC use
FLEC method, modelling or validation
Development of a P-FLEC-based controlled mould-spore exposure system is a central practical contribution, so the method classification takes precedence even though the apparatus is also used in a clinical experiment.
