(1,3)-B-D-glucans are compounds of biological origin (moulds, yeast, plants, certain bacteria). They may be present in the workplace air and can represent a toxinic risk for exposed workers.
The objectives of the study are to develop and to assess a method…

The CIP 10-M personal sampler is used to assess worker exposure to airborne particles by collecting them in a rotating metal cup containing a few milliliters of a collection fluid. Although used by many teams in the world, the particle-collection…

Sampling on filters is the most widely used method in the literature for airborne endotoxins measurements (Duquenne et al., 2013). The protocols used involve the analysis of endotoxins collected only on the filters following elution. However, several…

Microbial aerosols captured by HVAC filters can colonize those filters in appropriate conditions, especially when HVAC system is stopped. The risk of microbial aerosol release downstream filters is increased after a stopping period. After…
