- Abstract:
- During the last years, sampling of airborne microorganisms (including mesophilic bacteria, moulds, thermophilic bacteria and A. fumigatus) in waste disposal, recycling industry and control sampling locations in the urban and rural districts of Graz was conducted using Andersen 6-stage viable cascade impactors. In the present study additional sampling in livestock buildings has been conducted. Except mesophilic bacteria the emission in the area of waste disposal and recycling industry was significantly higher than in livestock buildings. In the surroundings of the livestock buildings the number of microorganisms was not increased, while the normal background level in the surroundings of the waste proceeding plants was reached from a distance of 150 to 300 meters.
