| Abstract: |
| Airborne particles and microorganisms in indoor environments were studied using an experimental room, measuring 4 by 4 by 2.2 meters high with a hardwood floor and interior latex painted-walls and ceilings. The room was equipped with a computer-controlled heating, ventilation, and cooling system. Temperature, relative humidity, air flow and room pressure were continuously monitored by probes located in the room and air handling system components. The room was used to monitor the potential for airborne glass fibers released from rigid fibrous ductboard, compare commercially available samplers for monitoring airborne fungal spores and study the efficacy of vacuum bags to minimize dispersal of various particles. |
