Abstract
:
Abstract Airborne dust bioaerosols, ammonia and formaldehyde levels were determined inside two different (ventilated and unventilated) wood working shops. Airborne dust was found at mean values of 4.3 and 3.01 mg m-3. These levels were higher than that recommended by Egyptian environmental law [1 mg m-3 indoor maximum allowable concentration (MAC) for hard wood]. The highest frequency of aerodynamic size distribution of airborne wood dust was detected at a diametre of 4.9 µm which was recorded during a machining operation. Total viable bacteria were recorded at a mean value of 104 colony-forming units (cfu) m-3, whereas Gramnegative bacteria were found at very low counts (101 cfu m-3). Fungi levels were recorded at mean values of 103 and 102 cfu m3 in ventilated and unventilated shops, respectively. Penicillium, Aspergillus, Cladosporiumm and yeast species were dominant isolates. Moreover, actinomycetes were found at a mean value of 103 cfu m-3 at both workshops. Ammonia was detected in relatively low concentrations (mean values of 457 and 623 mg m-3), whereas formaldehyde was found in relatively moderate concentrations (mean values of 0.42 and 0.64 ppm)
