Culturable fungal load
Settles plate technique
Gondar city
The highest and the lowest mean culturable fungal
loads recorded were 1140.29 CFU/m3 and 211.25 CFU/m3,
respectively. Aspergillus, Mucor, Penicillium, Candida,
Microsporum, Trichophyton, Rhizopus, Alternaria and Fusarium
species were isolated. Age of buildings (b= -0.122, 95%CI -0.238,-
0.007), area of classroom (b= 0.639, 95% CI 0.285, 0.993),
temperature (b= -0.189, 95% CI -0.325,-0.047), humidity (b= -
0.023, 95% CI -0.043, -0.002) and PM10 (b= -0.01, 95% CI -0.015,-
0.005) were associated with culturable fungal load.High culturable fungal load was found in school classrooms in Gondar City. Age of buildings, area of classrooms, temperature, humidity, and PM10 were predictors of the culturable
fungal load.
