    Author : Aleksandra Sebastian; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; indoor air; microbial chemical markers; asthma; allergies; tobacco smoke; Infektioner; Infections;

    Abstract : Inhalation of airborne microorganisms and their toxic components and products may induce a wide spectrum of acute and chronic airway manifestations. The study describes important capabilities of chemical marker analysis in defining human exposure to microorganisms in indoor environments. READ MORE

  5. 3. Acute cytokine responses to inhaled swine confinement building dust

    Author : Zhiping Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Inhalation of swine house dust (swine dust) may cause an acute inflammatory reaction Organic Dust Toxic Syndrome (ODTS). The reaction does not require sensitisation and is associated with airway inflammation, general symptoms, and slight spirometric changes. The agents and causing this reaction are not known.

  6. 4. Microorganisms in indoor environments. A search for health-related measurements

    Author : Loay Wady; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mykologi; virologi; bakteriologi; Mikrobiologi; mycology; bacteriology; virology; Microbiology; schools; microbial markers; MVOCs; building materials; dust; GC MSMS; SPME;

    Abstract : Microorganisms are ubiquitous in indoor air and epidemiological data suggest that inhalation of microbes and/or their products adhered on air–borne dust particles can impair well–being and health. In the present thesis microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) and cellular markers were studied by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS). READ MORE

  7. 5. Indoor and Outdoor Air Pollution in Relation to Allergy and Asthma in Taiyuan, China
