Regulatory Mold and Yeast Testing Impact on the Cultivation of Cannabis

This presentation describes the impact of regulatory testing and filtering of cannabis products with regard to mold and yeast content. This poster describes how one major cannabis producer used air sampling to identify and mitigate fungal and bacterial exposure levels and sources. Also described are the interesting political aspects of cultivation wherein mold and yeast standards set by regulators in Colorado seem incongruent with the picture painted by the Center for Disease Control’s mold and yeast resources. Cultivation practice, testing and radiation processing are included in the discussion.
