Scopulariopsis

Found in house dust, old carpeting, fruits and nuts, and other materials. This organism is able to decompose arsenic compounds. It may grow on wallpaper containing paris green, producing arsine gas.


 Anti-static compounds containing arsenic are used in some wall-to-wall carpeting, which may result in high concentrations of Scopulariopsis. It may cause infections of the skin and nails.
