Type of article: Article

Summary

Describes a study to: 1) investigate the development of fungal growth and sporulation on galvanised sheet steel; 2) investigate the amplification of spores in a simple experimental ventilation system where water condensed during night-time HVAC shut-down periods; and 3) to determine whether in a sub-Arctic climate, water condensation occurs in real ventilation ducts placed in unheated spaces. Concludes that water condensation in air ducts may promote fungal growth. Advises on preventive measures.
