Airborne Microorganisms

The ACGIH recommends a pre-assessment of the extent of microbial contamination prior to initiation of air sampling. Airborne microbials sampling equipment is available from the human respiratory tract (HRT) if sampling is necessary.

Before biological sampling, several precautions must be taken including making arrangements for preparing culture media for sampling, specialized shipping procedures, and making arrangements for analysis by a laboratory familiar with the handling and processing of biological samples. Contact the Directorate of Technical Support for information about laboratories experienced in the analysis of microbial samples and with knowledge of the health effects.

Legionella pneumophila is often present in hot water tanks, washing systems, and pools of stagnant water, but health effects are not observed until the contaminants become aerosolized within the building confinements.

The identification of predominant taxa, or at least fungi, is recommended in addition to determining the number of colony-forming units/m3 of air (cfu/m3). During growing seasons, outdoor fungus-spore levels can range from 1,000 to 100,000 cfu/m3 of air.

Modern molecular methods can reveal abundant airborne microbes where conventional culture methods used to assess cleanliness do not.
