Abstract

The aim of the study was to analyze the concentration of Cladosporium spores in the air-conditioned cars and without air-conditioning in Białystok. Measurements of concentrations of Cladosporium spores were carried by collision with the camera MicroBio1 MB. Period of studies covered the months from May to September 2011. Air cars air-conditioned was clearly a higher level of concentration of spores in comparison to the cars without air-conditioning. The highest value of the concentrations of spores were reported in July in 2011.
