Trichothecenes are a class of sesquiterpene mycotoxins produced by Stachybotrys, Fusarium, and other moulds. They inhibit protein synthesis and are potent irritants of mucous membranes and skin. Settled dust can harbour these toxins long after active growth has ceased.
Detection of trichothecenes in indoor dust supports the hypothesis of toxigenic mould exposure in symptomatic occupants and underscores the need for thorough remediation and dust removal.
