![]() These levels were related to saw working sites and were season-dependent, i.e. Health hazardous levels of airborne fungi (above 10 4 /m 3) were present only in SM 1. Average concentrations of airborne fungi were 1,696-7,316 cfu/m 3 in SM 1 and 1,706-4,819 cfu/m 3 in SM 2, respectively. A questionnaire concerning respiratory symptoms and skin prick test (SPT) with common inhalatory allergens and moulds Cladosporium herbarum, Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium notatum, and Rhizopus nigricans were performed in 96 workers from the same sawmills. Abstract Airborne fungi were collected over a one year period at 2-month intervals at 2 sawmills in Croatia (SM 1 and SM 2) processing mainly beech wood and oak wood. Occupational exposure to airborne fungi in two Croatian sawmills and atopy in exposed workers. Šegvić Klarić M, Varnai VM, Ljubičić Čalušić A, Macan J.
