Caracterização de fungos de ar indoor e ar outdoor dos laboratórios da UTFPR Campus Campo Mourão/PR

Abstract

Indoors, airless and without air renewal, they can accumulate dust and moisture making the environment suitable for the proliferation of Biological Agents. Thus the environment is conducive to the development of airborne fungi which are formed when inhaled spores and may be responsible for allergic respiratory symptoms and opportunistic infections. The aim of this study was the first study to identify the fungal microbiota anemophilus present in the laboratories of the Federal Technological University / PR Campus Campo Mourao. 132 samples were collected in total, the methodology used for data collection was the spores settling on plates with half Agar Potato Dextrose. In indoor air samples and outdoor determined - to 13 genera of airborne fungi, including both filamentous and yeast types, the most common, Alternaria spp, Aspergillus ssp, Byssochlamys ssp, Cladosporium sp, Fusarium ssp, Eurotium spp., Geotrichum spp., Yeast, Mucor spp., Penicillium spp., Rhizopus spp. and Trichordema ssp. This paper concludes that the laboratories in question are conducive to fungal growth and proliferation, which may cause allergic and infectious conditions for students and staff occupants of these environments. Therefore the need to implement appropriate cleaning methods, ventilation and air changes, thereby achieving an aseptic environment.
