Agglomerated Soot from an Industrial Fire and Fungus
The black at left center is a piece of agglomerated soot
from an large plumbing warehouse fire. The other particles are
from the outside as well as the inside of this home. This was from an environmental
tapelift collected in a home a few hundred meters (a little over
200 yards) away from the fire. The cluster of fungal spores are to the right of
center. The clear particle near the center is a skin flake. The
brighter large particle bottm-center is a paper fiber from the home. The other black
particles are agglomerated soot from the fire.
