| dc.description.abstract | Microbiological exposures associated with waste can occur indoors, where waste is stored, or outdoors during its collection and it may be influenced by the process of sorting, transfer, or cleaning. It has been shown that waste management releases airborne microorganisms and bioaerosols into the atmosphere around waste facilities and that temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed affect concentrations and viability of airborne microorganisms. This study is based on the research of the available information/data on fungal occupational exposure in the waste industry, published between the 1st of January 2010 and 31st of December 2019, following the PRISMA methodology. Through culture-based methods, Aspergillus spp. and Penicillium spp. were the most commonly found genera. However, some studies presented different genera with a considerable prevalence like Cladosporium spp., Rhizopus spp., and Alternaria spp. When applying molecular tools the most prevalent genera were Aspergillus spp., and two studies had another genus such as Stachybotrys chartarum and Penicillium spp. Although the waste industry is an occupational environment already associated with occupational fungal exposure, the information gathered with this review highlights the importance to assess fungal burden, focusing on Aspergillus species. | pt_PT |
