Outdoor Mold Count Information

Daily mold counts are available from the Canton Repository and WHBC, or by calling the Canton City Health Department at (330) 489-3231.

Mold counts are derived from rotorod samples on the 2nd story roof of the Canton City Health Department.  The readings are taken from a 24 hour period/24 hour average on all work days.

For more information about mold counts, please visit the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology.
