A case study on extensive fungal growth that occurred in an apartment building after firefighting efforts is described in this paper. Exposure to airborne microorganisms (both viable and total) was investigated by filter sampling in three periods before and during remedial actions after the fire. Material samples were also analyzed. Extensive mold growth was observed on the building materials a...
Nosocomial fungal infections are gaining increased attention from infectiologists. An adequate investigation into the levels of airborne Aspergillus and other fungal spores in hospital settings, under normal conditions, is largely unknown. We monitored airborne spore contamination in a Swiss hospital building in order to establish a seasonally-dependent base-line level. Air was sampled using an...
Limitations and Considerations in Air Sampling, Sample Analysis and Result Interpretation for Airborne Mould Spores by Jackson Kung’u Airborne mould material particularly spores are recognized allergens at normal concentrations to an estimated 20% of the population (Kendrick, 2000). It is not always possible to establish a correlation between mould spore counts in the environment and the presen...
BACKGROUND Children living in a damp house are more likely to suffer from respiratory symptoms and it has been suggested that exposure to fungi is an important contributing factor. However, more knowledge about underlying mechanisms for the association are needed. OBJECTIVE To identify associations between measures of house dampness, levels of airborne fungal spores, housing factors and healt...
Airborne pollen and fungal spores are monitored mainly in highly populated, urban environments, for allergy prevention purposes. However, their sources can frequently be located outside cities' fringes with more vegetation. So as to shed light to this paradox, we investigated the diversity and abundance of airborne pollen and fungal spores at various environmental regimes. We monitored pollen a...
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine types and levels of airborne fungal spores in air-conditioned homes built after 1980 without obvious moisture problems during the 2004 summer (rainy season) in central Florida, USA. METHODS Eighteen single-family homes were selected based on protocol questionnaire and cursory inspection, which revealed no obvious moisture or visible fungal grow...
The Burkard 7-day spore trap with standard orifice is commonly used by researchers in sampling outdoor air. The alternate orifice is reported to have higher efficiency in collecting small airborne fungal spores; however, no previous studies compared Burkard samplers with different orifices. This study was conducted to study the effect of the alternate orifice on the concentration of airborne fu...
We present non-viable fungi concentrations from December 2021 to November 2022 in Queensland, Australia taken outdoor reference samples collected during mould inspections. Our data indicate an average total concentration of approximately 6000 FS/m³ across the 2021-November period. Trends higher levels Aspergillus/Penicillium like spores December-May period changing Cladosporium July September T...
