dc.description.abstractThis study was performed in six different stations - drug preparation, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and three different patient rooms - in Oncology Service of Trakya University Medical Hospital in Edirne. Indoor air samples of equal volumes of 100 L were taken twice a month during the six-month study period. The analysis of samples showed that 8540 microfungi colonies were present in a total of 7.2 m(3) air sample. November and April were found to be the months during which the highest numbers of fungal spores were isolated with 2570 CFU/m(3) and 2060 CFU/m(3), respectively, while the lowest spore counts were isolated during January (730 CFU/m(3)). Penicillium was found to be the most commonly isolated fungal genus with 2950 CFU/m(3)/spore followed by Cladosporium with 2110 CFU/m(3). The other fungal genera isolated during the study are Aspergillus (640 CFU/m(3)), Alternaria (200 CFU/m(3)), Trichoderma (70 CFU/m(3)) and Rhizopus (40 CFU/m(3)). Among the most frequently isolated fungal species, Penicillium brevicompactum was the most common species with 960 CFU/m(3) followed by Cladosporium cladosporioides with 930 CFU/m(3). Aspergillus fumigatus, the fungal species of paramount importance in terms of human health, was also reported with a 410 CFU/m(3). Statistical analyses were performed in order to reveal the relationship between microfungal colony numbers isolated and station temperature and relative humidity.en_US
