Resumo(s)
Introduction: While better waste management is viewed as a critical contributor to reducing health outcomes and harmful environmental impacts, microbiological occupational exposure in the waste management industry is often overlooked, resulting in detrimental health effects on employees. Some waste workers, such as garbage collectors and truck drivers transporting the residential waste, spend part of their shift in a truck cabin and part of it in a workplace where organic materials are processed. The aim of this study was to investigate the Aspergillus spp. contamination present in 32 waste collection trucks (WCT).
