Abstract

The concentrations and composition of airborne fungal spores in homes fitted with portable HEPA filtration units were examined to provide information to evaluate the importance of varying levels of fungal spores in residential environments in Perth, Australia. A novel method for simulating activity/impaction on carpeted environments was also investigated. Reductions in fungal (35%) and particulate (38%) levels were achieved in the air filter homes. Penicillium, Cladosporium and yeasts were the most common and widespread fungi recovered indoors and outdoors. Fungal range decreased over the study period but this could be due to an overall reduced dissemination of spores (less spores in the air).

摘要

对装有便携式高效空气过滤器的家庭中空气传播真菌孢子的浓度和组成进行了检测，以便提供信息来评估澳大利亚珀斯住宅环境中不同水平真菌孢子的重要性。还研究了一种模拟在铺设地毯环境中活动/撞击的新方法。安装空气过滤器的家庭中真菌（35%）和颗粒物（38%）水平有所降低。青霉菌、枝孢菌和酵母菌是室内外最常见且分布最广的真菌。在研究期间真菌种类范围有所减少，但这可能是由于孢子的总体传播减少（空气中孢子减少）。
