“…Understanding of the basic physiological phenomena in microbes and the influence of environmental parameters on variation in basic processes, such as the formation of conidia and volatiles and their subsequent release, will clarify the etiology of SBS. Bartlett, Kennedy, and Brauer (1998) recently conducted one of the few statistically significant IAQ investigations of schools. These researchers investigated IAQ in terms of microbial contamination (focusing on mesophilic and thermophilic fungi), CO , temperature, humidity, and air change rates in 39 schools 2 in British Columbia.…”
