Journal ArticleDOI
Tobacco smoking increases dramatically air concentrations of endotoxin
TL;DR: The results may help to explain the high prevalence of respiratory disorders among smokers, and they may also draw attention to a hitherto unknown or neglected risk factor of ETS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of bacterial and fungal components in tobacco and tobacco smoke
Lennart Larsson,Bogumiła Szponar,Beston Ridha,Christina Pehrson,Jacek Dutkiewicz,Ewa Krysińska-Traczyk,Jolanta Sitkowska +6 more
TL;DR: The fact that tobacco smoke is aBioaerosol may help to explain the high prevalence of respiratory disorders among smokers and non-smokers exposed to second hand smoke since the same symptoms are also commonly associated with exposure to bioaerosols.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microorganisms and volatile organic compounds in airborne dust from damp residences
A Nilsson,Erik Kihlström,Verner Lagesson,B. Wessén,Bogumiła Szponar,Lennart Larsson,Christer Tagesson +6 more
TL;DR: The results from this pilot study illustrate the diversity of microorganisms and VOCs present in the indoor environment and suggest that analysis of airborne dust may help to assess human exposure to micro organisms and chemical compounds.
Journal Article
Use of mass spectrometry for characterising microbial communities in bioaerosols.
Bogumiła Szponar,Lennart Larsson +1 more
TL;DR: The described method allows accurate determination of markers even when present down to trace levels in chemically complex matrices and should be useful in evaluating the role of microorganisms in the development of occupational lung disease, e.g. in agricultural environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Cu-Ti thin film surface properties on antimicrobial activity and viability of living cells.
Damian Wojcieszak,Danuta Kaczmarek,Aleksandra Antosiak,Michal Mazur,Zbigniew Rybak,Agnieszka Rusak,Małgorzata Osękowska,Agata Poniedziałek,Andrzej Gamian,Bogumiła Szponar +9 more
TL;DR: Property of thin-film coatings based on copper and titanium revealed bactericidal and fungicidal effects even in short term-contact and wettability may promote cell adhesion and result in an increase of the probability of copper ion transfer from the film surface into the cell.
