Abstract |
This draft protocol, by an ACGIH committee, is designed for the investigation of building-related complaints that are likely to be the result of bioaerosols. Covered are: preassessment (walkthrough, presumptive sources, reservoir and amplifier samples); air sampling (objective, sampling volume and replicates, where to sample); general sampling procedures (viable particle sampling, total spore counts, microaerosols, sedimentation, calibration, sampler disinfection, culture plates and media, quality control); handling and processing of samples (incubation, enumeration of organisms and spores, assessment of submicronic antigens and toxins, enumeration of taxa); data interpretation; recommendations for remedial actions; sampling after remedial action. |
