Abstract
Several studies have demonstrated the role of domestic exposure to mite in mite allergic patients. However, only one limited study have measured mite exposure at work in offices. The aim of our study was to compare group 1 mite allergen levels in carpets of offices and bedrooms. Thirty bedrooms and 27 offices were randomly selected. Dust samples were performed according to the international recommendations. Mite allergens were measured using ELISA based assay. A dramatic difference was found in group 1 mite allergen levels between bedrooms (mean: 18.4 μg/g) and offices (mean: 0.32 μg/g). We conclude that mite exposure in offices does not seem to be at risk for atopic and non atopic workers.
