ABSTRACT Bacterial strain LW1, which belongs to the family Comamonadaceae , utilizes 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene (1C4NB) as a sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy. Suspensions 1C4NB-grown cells removed 1C4NB from culture fluids, there was concomitant release ammonia chloride. Under anaerobic conditions LW1 transformed into product identified 2-amino-5-chlorophenol by 1 H 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy mass spectrometry. This transformation indicated that partial...
Particulate matter, microorganisms in air and environmental conditions present a potential risk to museum collections. There are also limited studies of simultaneous measurements airborne particles inside museums the effects seasonal variations. Therefore, extensive indoor/outdoor particulate matter mass/number concentrations viable, cultivable microbial load were performed two library Greece for period 2 years at selected time intervals. The culture heritage collections located coastal...
A detailed analysis of indoor/outdoor physicochemical aerosol properties has been performed. Aerosol measurements were taken at two dwellings, one in the city center and other suburbs Oslo metropolitan area, during summer/fall winter/spring periods 2002-2003. In this paper, emphasis is placed on chemical characteristics (water-soluble ions carbonaceous components) fine (PM2.5) coarse (PM2.5-10) particles their relationship. Results demonstrate that species dominant all fractions PM10 (cut...
Abstract Airborne particles, bacteria and fungi consist main determinants of indoor air quality. In this study, these characteristics were investigated in two exhibition halls the Historical Museum Crete, comparison with outdoor environment. Zacharias Portalakis (ZP) hall, three purifiers operating during museum opening hours, as opposed to El Greco (EG) hall. A significant part ultrafine (< 1 μm) particles was efficiently removed by ZP coarse PN 2.5–10 associated human occupancy both...
This study presents for the first time comprehensive measurements of particle number size distribution (10 nm to 10 μm) together with next-generation sequencing analysis airborne bacteria inside a dental clinic. A substantial enrichment indoor environment new particles in all classes was identified by both activities background and indoor/outdoor (I/O) ratios. Grinding drilling were principal produce air, closely followed polishing. Illumina MiSeq 16S rRNA bioaerosol collected indoors...
Measurements of the ambient viable microbe concentrations and microbial deposits on surfaces were performed in Historical Museum Crete over a period two years. The levels airborne microbes museum rooms showed considerable variability, which was mainly related to indoor activity (such as number visitors); environmental conditions, including air exchange rate; exhibits' chemical compositions storage conditions well conservation treatments cleaning techniques they had been subjected. An...
Abstract The daily deposited dose of bioaerosols and particle mass or number in the human respiratory tract using an exposure model (ExDoM2) was quantified present study. calculated for extrathoracic (ET), tracheobronchial (TB), alveolar-interstitial (AI) regions tract. calculations were performed viable, cultivable airborne heterotrophic bacteria, mesophilic fast-growing fungi, total coliforms at a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) located suburban area Mediterranean site....
Particulate matter measurements were performed at the Akrotiri research station on island of Crete (Greece) using an 8-stages Andersen non-viable impactor. The main purpose current work was to measure ambient levels PM10 particulate as well concentrations metals and ions in 8 different PM size fractions with aerodynamic diameter cutoff 9, 5.8, 4.7, 3.3, 2.1, 1.1, 0.7, 0.4 a back-up filter for particles below μm. mean concentration during first sampling period August 2007 equal 28.2 ± 14.0 μg...
