LoginFor that study, an investigation of indoor air microbes of two Hong Kong Old Folks Home, one with naturally ventilation and another with mechanically ventilation device, was carried out. Samples of airborne fungi and bacteria were taken from five indoor sites characterized by different human activities along with an outdoor sample for comparisonBoth bacterial counts and fungal counts in air in the naturally ventilated Home were higher than that in the mechanically ventilated Home. This study suggests that a mechanical ventilation systemcontribute to better indoor air quality if it can be properly maintained.
