Air sampling studies are described which show high levels of airborne starch powder contamination in areas where powdered latex gloves are used. Furthermore, culture of collected samples show a clear association between starch particles and bacterial colonies in an experimental system suggesting that airborne particles could act as a vector for pathogens in the hospital environment.
本文描述了空气采样研究，这些研究表明，在使用乳胶粉手套的区域，空气中淀粉粉末污染水平很高。此外，对采集样本的培养显示，在实验系统中淀粉颗粒与细菌菌落之间存在明显关联，这表明空气中的颗粒可能在医院环境中充当病原体的载体。
