Resumo(s)
The indoor environment of Portuguese thermal spas can influence the health of users and their attending staff. These facilities can be a source of microorganism and can constitute a public health concern. When significant indoor or outdoor airborne bacteria sources do not exist, the most critical factor that contributes to indoor bacteria levels is the human presence. Airborne fungal contaminants are increasingly gaining importance due to the health hazards caused by their spores or metabolites. Fungal contamination indoors often contributes to building-related diseases. The aim of this study was to assess bioburden in two Portuguese thermal spas and to develop protocols and recommendations for bioburden control.
