摘要：Abstract: Microscopic fungi – components of bioaerosol found in the workplace environment
of individuals employed in the agricultural sector – constitute a considerable
hazard for their health. This study includes quantitative and qualitative analyses of mycobionta
contained in 20 samples of dusts collected from laboratories conducting analyses
of cereals. A total of 27 species of viable microscopic fungi were isolated. The most
frequently isolated genera Penicillium and Aspergillus, accounting for 27% and 26% of
analyzed isolates. The content of fungal biomass was determined quantitatively using a
fungal marker, ergosterol (ERG). Concentrations of this metabolite for all samples ranged
from 0.48 mg/kg–212.36 mg/kg. Based on the analyses, it may be stated that the concentration
of microfungi in settled dust from laboratories conducting analyses of cereals was
varied, and in several cases markedly exceeded admissible concentration levels.
