A circular patch of mold growth was observed on the carpet.
No other mold growth was observed in the classroom nor adjacent classrooms.
The relative humidity in the classroom and rooms within the same ventilation zone was acceptable (<60%).
The classroom carpet was dry as determined by the use of a moisture probe.
