Abstract

The different methods of determining airborne dust concentrations are less complicated and time consuming than those for detecting microorganisms. This holds true both for gravimetric dust measurements and online measurement instruments which measure continuously. Determining the actual situation in barns by estimating the amount of aerosolized microorganisms in situ is not practicable. A statistical model was used to determine the proportion of mould spores bound to dust particles for different sized classes. The relationship between the concentration of airborne particles and mould spores is shown using a regression analysis, which can roughly predict the mould content in barns through dust measurements.
