The identification and quantification of Aspergillus sections present on filters from the air-conditioning systems in fork lifters from waste industry was performed, including the screening of azole-resistance. In addition, toxigenic strains from Aspergillus spp. were detected.engOccupational healthOccupational exposureAspergillusAzole-resistanceWaste sorting industryProjeto IPL/2016/W2E_ESTeSLconference object
