Project EXPOsE.Project IPL/2018/WasteFRPD_ESTeSL_Waste Workers’ Exposure to Bio-burden through Filtering Respiratory Protective Devices.Personal protective equipment, such as mechanical protection gloves, is of compulsory use in the Portuguese waste sorting industry. This study intends to assess the bioburden present in this protection equipment and discuss the possibility to be considered as a potential passive sampling method to assess occupational exposure to microbial contamination. The bacterial contamination in the glove samples ranged from 0 CFU.m-2 to uncountable, and the gram-negative bacteria contamination from 2x103 CFU.m-2 to uncountable. Sorting waste and feeding machines with waste (FMW) were the two workstations where gloves presented a higher prevalence of Gram- bacteria. The fungal contamination in the gloves samples ranged from 0 CFU.m-2 to uncountable. The FMW workstation presented the highest bacterial and fungal concentrations. Concerning the gloves wearing time, only a significant, positive, and weak-intensity correlation was detected with the fungal counts on MEA (r = 0.291, p = 0.022). Protection gloves can be used as passive sampling methods to assess occupational exposure to bioburden in the waste-sorting industry. Furthermore, the obtained results can be used to prioritize occupational health interventions and for training and education programs held to workers.Portuguese Society of Occupational Safety and HygieneRCIPLViegas, CarlaDias, MartaAlmeida, BeatrizCarolino, Elisabete2021-03-03T20:14:45Z2020-072020-07-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/13022engViegas C, Dias M, Almeida B, Carolino E.
