Abstract(s)
The assessment of microbial indoor air quality in schools is vital for promoting student health. Portugal's regulations focus on commercial buildings (Ordinance nº 138-G/2021), neglecting standards for schools. Evidence suggests indoor/outdoor fungal ratio inadequacies in high-risk areas like schools. Objective: To assess fungal threshold adequacy set by the Portuguese ordinance in different sites of schools located in the Lisbon area.
