本文介绍了在城市堆肥设施处理绿色和有机废物的三个工作环境中进行的为期一年的室内生物气溶胶监测的初步结果。堆肥通过好氧分解稳定有机物，需要通风，导致微生物颗粒（微生物和相关毒素）的分散。因此，废物可能成为生物危害的潜在来源。每月收集一次生物气溶胶样本。通过比较使用两种采样器（表面空气系统DUO SAS 360和生物采样器）获得的结果，该研究旨在评估生物污染物的存在，并有助于定义生物气溶胶的标准采样方法，最终建立这些职业污染物的暴露限值。
This paper presents preliminary results from a year-long indoor bioaerosol monitoring performed in three working environments of a municipal composting facility treating green and organic waste. Composting, whereby organic matter is stabilized through aerobic decomposition, requires aeration, causing the dispersion of microbial particles (microorganisms and associated toxins). Waste can, therefore, become a potential source of biological hazard. Bioaerosol samples were collected on a monthly basis. Through a comparison of results obtained using two samplers - the Surface Air System DUO SAS 360 and the BioSampler - the study aimed at assessing the presence of biological pollutants, and at contributing to the definition of standard sampling methods for bioaerosols leading, eventually, to the establishment of exposure limits for these occupational pollutants.
