Microbiological indoor air quality in faculty's rooms: Risks on students' health

Abstract

This study deals with a quantitative and qualitative analysis of indoor airborne microbiota and estimation of microbiological quality of indoor air in faculty's rooms during the summer semester of 2017/18 school year. The concentration of bacteria was significantly higher than the concentration of fungi. The species that belong to human skin microbiota or of environmental origin were identified. According to indoor air quality breakpoints, low to medium/high level of bacterial and fungal air contaminations was noticed.
