Investigations on Aeromycology in the Indoor Environment (O.T.) of the Rural Healthcare Center in Sindewahi

Abstract

In every month of the year, microfungi are found in the interior environment in every area of healthcare facilities. Not even the operating rooms are free of fungi. Fungal-free environments in operating rooms are only temporary when fumigation is performed both before and after using the space. For an average of two years, deuteromycotina dominated indoor air in terms of both quantity and quality, followed by phycomycotina and ascomycotina. The spores of fungi varied with the season. The wet season (June to September) had the highest concentration of fungal spores, which were then followed by winter (October to January) and summer. Fungal spore concentration varies month to month. From July to December, the highest instances were noted, and from March to May, the lowest. There was variation in the incidence of CFUs/M3 in the indoor air. The variations could be caused by the monthly weather patterns and internal sources that encourage the development and spread of fungi. This examination of different areas of healthcare facilities makes it abundantly evident that employees and patients have a very high chance of coming into contact with allergenic fungus spores. Human disease is caused by fungi and their poisons.
