“…Levetin et al (1995) said that elevated spore levels indoors might indicate an indoor source, that Aspergillus/Penicillium spores were often associated with contamination, and were more frequent when disturbed by activity. Dampness, especially of carpets, was cited as an important factor by Gallup (1986), water damage and visible mould by Green et al (2003), and also dust by Emberlin et al (1995).…”

“…Aspergillus/Penicillium spores have also been found in significant numbers indoors (Lacey, 1981;Gallup et al, 1986;Levetin et al, 1995), and recent work by Reed and Kita (2004) investigates the role of protease activation of inflammation in allergic respiratory disease suggesting that fungi growing in damp, water damaged buildings might increase the prevalence in these buildings of asthma, rhinitis and other respiratory disease. In order to increase our knowledge of Aspergillus/ Penicillium spore concentrations indoors, we decided to re-investigate the indoor air at two local contrasting houses (Stern et al, 1999), to assess the effect of household activity, and to compare the outdoor and indoor levels of concentration that allergy patients may encounter.…”

“…The most common fungi reported to induce specific IgE in humans include Cladosporium, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Alternaria, Basidiospores, and Epicoccum [3,[9][10][11]. Unfortunately, because extracts are not available to test for all clinically relevant fungi, there may be unidentified taxa that also induce significant allergic sensitization [12].…”

“…However, except for the airborne bacteria measured at the driver's seat, all concentrations of airborne bacteria and fungi were higher than outdoors. Because the indoor/outdoor concentration ratio of airborne bacteria and fungi pollution is above one, the pollution must come from indoor contaminants 28,29) , indoor air quality should be continuously controlled. The subway drivers' seats were expected to have a higher concentration of airborne bacteria and fungi compared to the station offices, ticket offices and bedrooms, since they are located at a lower level the other areas.…”
