^aThe mean is the average of the median concentrations for all buildings, restricted to buildings where the fungus was detected.

^bThe median value is the average of the median concentrations for all buildings, restricted to buildings where the fungus was detected.

^cThe 95th percentile is based on the median concentrations for all buildings, restricted to buildings where the fungus was detected.

^dAspergillus species includes Eurotium, Emericella, A. flavus, A. fumigatus, A. niger, A. versicolor, and all other Aspergillus species listed in Table 3.

^eValue for indoor samples/value for outdoor samples (standard deviation for indoor samples/standard deviation for outdoor samples).
