Finding F-1416

“The external air of the cave contains more culturable airborne fungal spores (755 colony-forming units (CFU) per 1 m3 of air) than the internal air (from 47 to 273 CFU in 1 m3), and these levels of airborne spore concentration do not pose a threat to the health of tourists.”

Structure

Factor: Fungal spores
Setting: show cave, SK
Study design: study of airborne fungal spores in the Demanovska Ice Cave in Slovakia: culturable spores sampled at six locations inside the cave and in the outdoor air, with phenotypic and genotypic identification of the species (class 4)
Effect: other 273
Caveat: the study reads the lower level as an effect of the cave microclimate and says it is no threat to the health of visitors; the sentence prints the unit as colony-forming units per 1 m3 of air
