TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined the microbiological quality of particulate matter (PM) in an urban area in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, during December 2012 to April 2013.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental Study in Subway Metro Stations in Cairo, Egypt
TL;DR: In this article, airborne viable and non-viable measurements were carried out in two different metro stations, one located in a tunnel and the other on the surface, and the concentrations of airborne total viable bacteria (incubated at 37°C and 22°C), staphylococci, suspended dust and oxidants (ozone) were higher in the tunnel station than those recorded at the surface station.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vegetation: A source of air fungal bio-contaminant
TL;DR: The presence of fungal spores in air, in spite of their counts, may raise arguments about their role in health complaints in a particular region, „i.e., the fungal concentration may be low but the predominant aeroallergen may be dangerous”.
Journal ArticleDOI
Airborne dust, bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi at a flourmill
TL;DR: A study was carried out on suspended dust, bacterial and fungal aerosols in a four-storey flourmill building located in Giza, Egypt, finding that the dust levels exceed the occupational exposure limit (OEL) of 0.5 mg m−3 for flour dust.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air microbial quality in certain public buildings, Egypt: A comparative study
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors collected airborne bacteria and fungi using Andersen two-stage sampler, it divides particles into coarse (≥7μm) and fine (fine) particles and its association with microclimatic conditions, particulate matter (PM) and ventilation type.
