Abstract
The concentration of moulds in interiors varies over a wide range and is significantly related to the mould concentration in the outdoor air. According to other studies, the mould propagules concentration in the outdoor environment depends on the season of the year, examination location, and climatic conditions. The façade attacked by biological agents is considered to be more of a technical or aesthetic problem. This study compares the results of mapping microbial infestation of façade with levels of microbial ambient air contamination and also with microbial air contamination levels inside housing units of ten buildings in the Czech Republic. The obtained data show that the attacked facade of the building can affect the indoor air of buildings by increasing the number of moulds propagules spreading in the air and their genus representation.
