Sedimentation rate [a new equation] for airborne fungi in a libyan abattoir

ABSTRACT

A total of 80 air samples from different compartments of Slaughter House Shahaat [A Libyan abattoir] were examined mycologically. A number of 360 mould strains were recovered, at the top were dark moulds [87.22%], Aspergillus [6.67%], Penicillium [2.22%], Fusarium [1.94%]. Mucor and Absidia were also isolated. Sedimentation rate of cfu of moulds on 1 cm 2 was calculated
