Methods of sampling airborne fungi in working environments of waste treatment facilities.
OBJECTIVES The objective of the present study was to evaluate and compare the efficiency of a filter based sampling method and a high volume sampling method for sampling airborne culturable fungi present in waste sorting facilities. MATERIAL AND METHODS Membrane filters method was compared with surface air system method. The selected sampling methods were modified and tested in 2 plastic wast...

متن کاملAir Sampling for Fungi in Indoor Environments
Mould growth in buildings is a major health issue, but most investigations of the indoor air spora still employ culture-based methods. These are inadequate for assessing exposure, since culturable organisms comprise a small fraction of the total of potentially allergenic/toxigenic units in air. For epidemiological studies, measurement of airborne fungal biomass over extended periods may be more...
