Resumo: ABSTRACT - Excessive humidity and/or high water content in building materials can contribute to microbial growth. The presence of particles indoors can be related to several adverse health outcomes. As assessment was performed comprising bioaerosols sampling and measurements of particles. Fifteen indoor samples were done and one outdoor sample, to be used as a reference. Surface samples from floor and ventilation grids were performed in the same indoor spaces. The identification of specific fungal species requires implementation of corrective measures and particles are probably introduced in indoor environment by the ventilation system. Results obtained confirm occupational exposure to bioaerosols and particles and the need for intervention in the ventilation system.

A presença de part´+iculas em ambiente interior pode estar relacionada com efeitos sobre a saúde. Foi realizada uma avaliação da exposição a bioaerossóis e a partículas. Quinze amostras de ar interior e uma do exterior, para servir de referência, foram realizadas. Amostras de superfícies do pavimento e das grelhas de ventilação foram também efetuadas. A identificação de espécies fúngicas específicas sugere a implementação de medidas corretivas e as partículas são provavelmente introduzidas em ambiente interior através do sistema de ventilação. Os resultados obtidos confirmam a exposição ocupacional a bioaerossóis e partículas e a necessidade de intervenção no sistema de ventilação.RCIPLViegas, CarlaMonteiro, AnaFaria, TiagoViegas, Susana2017-11-08T16:50:37Z2017-102017-10-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/7467engViegas C, Monteiro A, Faria T, Viegas S.
