<i>Aspergillus fumigatus</i> spore concentration in outside air: Cardiff and St Louis compared

Abstract

Intermittent sampling of the atmosphere 3 days/week over a 12-month period using Andersen samplers in Cardiff, Wales, U.K. and St Louis, Missouri, U.S.A., indicated average A. fumigatus spore concentrations of 13.5/m3 in St Louis and 11.3/m3 in Cardiff. Both sites showed seasonal variations with highest concentrations during winter.
