This study was conducted to determine the level of fungal contamination of the air in bakeries to assess health hazards for workers.
Six bakeries producing traditionally baked goods were selected for the study. After a background survey, samples of exhaled air were collected to test for fungal aerosols. The inhalable and respirable fraction in the bakery air environment was measured by the gravimetric method.
All data analyses were performed using Statistica software (v 8.0).
The mean concentration of fungi and particles in the bakeries did not exceed the recommended levels. The air in the bakeries had a low level of microbial contamination. The identified fungi included biological agents from hazard group 2.
Proper employee training and the introduction of preventive measures (including both individual and group protection) can significantly reduce employees' exposure and thus their occupational risk.
本研究旨在确定面包店空气中真菌污染水平,以评估对工人的健康危害。
选取六家生产传统烘焙食品的面包店进行研究。在进行背景调查后,收集呼出空气样本以检测真菌气溶胶。采用重量法测量面包店空气环境中的可吸入和可呼吸部分。
所有数据分析均使用Statistica软件(v 8.0)进行。
面包店内真菌和颗粒物的平均浓度未超过推荐水平。面包店的空气微生物污染水平较低。鉴定出的真菌包括危险等级2的生物制剂。
对员工进行适当培训并采取预防措施(包括个人和集体防护)可显著减少员工接触,从而降低其职业风险。
