- Fungal biomass detection on HVAC filters as good predictors for viable bioburdenPublication . Viegas, Carla; Almeida, Beatriz; Monteiro, Ana; Marchand, G.Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) filters have been successfully used to characterize the bioburden of indoor environments. This passive sampling approach uses the HVAC filters as integrated, long-term samplers of particle-bound contaminants, such as fungi and bacteria. Furthermore, fungal biomass detection as an analyses approach of HVAC filters can be a useful methodology, since molecular based-studies have already linked bioburden to health outcomes. Thus, the aim of this study was to verify if fungal biomass can be a good predictor for bacterial and fungal counts in HVAC filters.
