Abstract

During cleaning procedures in rooms contaminated with pigeon faeces, extensive dust contaminated with various microorganisms can be aerosolised. In this study levels of airborne microorganisms were quantified and partly identified. Airborne culturable bacteria were collected using filtration samplers and impingers. The concentrations of airborne microorganisms on CASO and DG18 agar were generally high, up to 107 CFU m-3 air. Concentrations of representatives of Enterobacteriaceae were often found in a range of 103 CFU m-3 air. Highest concentrations were found in aerosols from fresh faeces. The amount of bacteria decreased with the age of the faeces. The same tendency was found for Campylobacter and yeast numbers. In general, the concentrations of thermophilic fungi were low. Chlamydophila psittaci was detected only in some bioaerosols originated from fresh faeces.
