| Abstract |
Bacteria and fungi grow indoors when sufficient moisture is available, causing indoor air pollution. The aims of this study were to determine the total viable bacterial count and fungi levels at the l...abs and faculty offices of the Islamic University of Gaza (IUG). Twenty-six air samples were collected from the IUG labs and faculty offices using air samplers. The results show that the highest bacterial count was observed at the Medical Science Labs with 1365 colony-forming unit (CFU)/m3 while the highest fungal count was detected at the Environment Science Labs with 425 CFU /m3. The majority of the monitored labs and offices have higher bacterial and fungal levels than the WHO standards of 500 CFU/m3. Lab users should wear face masks to reduce any potential health impacts due to the microbial pollution.show more
