Characterization of aerosols containing Legionella generated upon nebulization
Legionella pneumophila is, by far, the species most frequently associated with Legionnaires' disease (LD). Human infection occurs almost exclusively by aerosol inhalation which places the bacteria in juxtaposition with alveolar macrophages. LD risk management is based on controlling water quality by applying standardized procedures. However, to gain a better understanding of the real risk of ex...
متن کاملAerosols containing Legionella pneumophila generated by shower heads and hot-water faucets.
Shower heads and hot-water faucets containing Legionella pneumophila were evaluated for aerosolization of the organism with a multistage cascade impaction air sampler. Air was collected above two shower doors and from the same rooms approximately 3 ft (91 cm) from the shower doors while the hot water was running. Low numbers (3 to 5 CFU/15 ft3 [0.43 m3] of air) of L. pneumophila were recovered ...
متن کاملCharacterization of Aerosols Containing Microcystin
Toxic blooms of cyanobacteria are ubiquitous in both freshwater and brackish water sources throughout the world. One class of cyanobacterial toxins, called microcystins, is cyclic peptides. In addition to ingestion and dermal, inhalation is a likely route of human exposure. A significant increase in reporting of minor symptoms, particularly respiratory symptoms was associated with exposure to h...
متن کاملContinuous nebulization therapy for asthma with aerosols of b2 agonists
Background: Various studies have demonstrated the benefits of continuous nebulization therapy for delivering aerosols of the b2 agonists such as terbutaline sulfate or albuterol sulfate to patients with severe asthma and/or impending respiratory failure. Objective: The purpose of this investigation was to explicate the operational factors associated with the use of nebulizers for extended aeros...
