Evaluation of microbiological air quality and of microclimate in university classrooms
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2011The proliferation of air-diffused microorganisms inside public buildings such as schools, hospitals, and universities, is often indicated as a possible health risk. In this research, we have illustrated the results of an investigation realized to determine the health of the air in some university classrooms, both from a microbiological and a ...

Microbiological and chemical quality of indoor air in kindergartens in Slovenia
International Journal of Environmental Health Research, 2019The concentrations of microorganisms, aerosol black carbon and carbon dioxide (CO2) in indoor and outdoor air of two kindergartens were investigated during four seasons. The highest mean concentrations of aerobic mesophilic microorganisms in indoor air were detected in spring.

Auditing the microbiological quality of the air in operating theatres
The Bone & Joint JournalThe critical relationship between airborne microbiological contamination in an operating theatre and surgical site infection (SSI) is well known. The aim of this annotation is to explain the scientific basis of using settle plates to audit the quality of air, and to provide information about the practicalities of using them for the purposes of clinical

Sampling of Microbiological Contaminants in Indoor Air
1987Strategies for sampling airborne biogenic contaminants including fungi, bacteria, viruses, and protozoa should include specific considerations for each group and very often for different species within these groups. The determination of target pollutants and sampling strategy is based on preliminary investigation of the indoor environment by a walk ...

Microbiological Studies of a Laminar Air Flow Unit for Patients
Archives of Environmental Health: An International Journal, 1969A laminar air flow (LAF) unit consisting of two patient rooms has been installed for patients’ undergoing cancer chemotherapy. Air circulated through the room in a horizontal laminar flow pattern after passing a bank of high efficiency filters. All necessary patient facilities were provided in the room.

Microbiological indoor air quality in healthy buildings.
The new microbiologica, 2002There is a growing interest in indoor air quality for a better quality environment both at home and at work because many people spend at least 80% of their time indoors. The aim of our study was to evaluate the indoor concentration of airborne bacteria and fungi in a University auditorium, in an office of public buildings and in an apartment in the ...

Microbiologic air contamination and building-associated illness
Aerobiologia, 1990Microbiologic air contamination plays, among other factors, a role in building associated illnesses i.e., hypersensitivity diseases, bacterial and fungal infections, sick building syndrome. Airborne microorganisms are separated into obligate parasites, such as the viruses and a few bacteria, that must find a suitable host within a brief period, and ...

Microbiological air contamination in intensive poultry breeding
2005Intensive poultry breeding is, among others, characterized by considerable air contamination with microorganisms, dust, endotoxins and various gases, which can exert infectious, immunosuppressive, allergic and toxic effects on human and animal health.
