Abstract:
... This study was undertaken to investigate how the length of the extraction period influences the (1 → 3)-β-d-glucan (β-glucan) yield and also to examine the background concentration of β-glucan as airborne β-glucan in outdoor environments in different seasons and as concentrations in airborne and floor dust in offices. To ensure compatibility between results obtained in different laboratories, it i ...

Abstract:
... The airborne monitoring of bioaerosols has become a research area attracting significant scientific interest over the last few years because of potential impacts on human health. For example, so-called primary aerosol biological particles (PBAPs) such as pollen and fungal spores are known to induce allergic responses and therefore exacerbate reactions such as allergenic rhinitis (hay fever) and ch ...

Abstract:
... Viral aerosols can lead to respiratory viral infections with high infectivity. About 90% of people’s time is spent in closed environments. A few studies have pointed out that the ventilation systems in air handling units (AHUs) that treat and transmit a new synthetic clean and conditioned environment can also spread and transport viral particles in buildings. The aim of this work is to study the c ...

Abstract:
... The preservation of decorated caves is a great challenge that has been reinforced by the microbial crisis occurring at emblematic sites such as the Lascaux and Altamira caves. To date, little is known about the microbial behavior of caves. One difficulty is that the term “cave” covers a wide variety of sites and structures. Past studies concentrated on caves with microbial disorders and were gener ...
