Assessment of environmental air contamination with aspergillus conidia
Abstract
Fungi of the genus Aspergillus are representatives of saprotrophic microscopic molds, widely distributed in the environment. However, some species of aspergillus, such as A. fumigatus, are considered opportunistic pathogens for animals and humans The results show that Aspergillus spores are present in the air all year round, but their concentrations do not demonstrate a clear correlation with climate or season of the year.
