Abstract:

Indoor aerobiological data sets are often difficult to handle because they are not easily related to climatic parameterssimilar to those found outdoors. However, in large buildings, where ventilation systems allow a systematicknowledge of air flows, the transfer of a power distribution model to airborne spore concentration can simplify thetask of reaching a decision on contamination presence. The use of the absorption percentage of each componentof the ventilation system (air intake, filters, cooling, humidification, air return) can identify abnormalities (i.e.concentrations not following the general expected model, which could mean contamination requiring action),permit direct cleaning, and allow the restoration of a normal state after a short period of time.
