TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated whether the visible growth of mold indoors influences the concentration of fungal spores in the air as well as the variety of their species, and found that the extent of visible mold growth is significantly correlated with both the fungal species and the amount of spores.

TL;DR: Different sectors of the waste management industry were compared by determining median values of airborne culturable microorganisms from numerous parallel counts over a prolonged time period, showing permanent increased loads of the investigated microorganisms inside large composting facilities and especially in the sorting cabins for recyclable materials.

TL;DR: The number of airborne microorganisms in the area of large-scale composting facilities with different composting techniques was investigated using impactor sampling systems (Andersen samplers).

TL;DR: Investigation of Austrian/Styrian wine cellars with regard to the volume and the composition of the mycoflora found fourteen predominant fungal genera in the indoor air, the most frequent was Penicillium and trichloroanisole was detected.

TL;DR: The natural background values of culturable fungal spore concentrations as reference values for the assessment of moldy buildings were defined and the dominant genera Cladosporium, Penicillium and Aspergillus should receive special consideration.
