    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    The European Standard provides guidelines for the assessment of workplace exposure to airborne micro-organisms including the determination of total number and culturable number of micro-organisms in the workplace atmosphere. The Standard also provides methods for measurement of airborne endotoxin in the work environment. The European Standard does not apply to viruses, specific pathogenic micro-organisms and toxins other than endotoxin, although some of themeasurement principles may be the same.
