“…Various research fndings, conclusions, and recommendations regarding the enhancement of air quality in diferent areas have provided outstanding contributions. By reviewing and summarizing the research methods used by international and professional scholars investigating topics related to air quality, we found that international methods for examining IAQ typically involve the following procedures: an exploration and review of previous research, relevant data analysis, experimental collection of air bioaerosol samples, selection of suitable mediums for sample cultivation, and fnally, use of microscopes for determining the number of bioaerosols in the culture medium, which is then used to calculate the concentration of bioaerosols in 1 m 3 of air [12,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35].…”

Public libraries are popular gathering places, so understanding the factors that contribute to colony-forming unit (CFU) concentrations and how to minimize them is essential. This study aimed to investigate the factors that affect CFU concentrations in a public library, using air sampling (Bioluminescent ATP-assay) and statistical analysis software (SPSS) to collect and analyze data. The findings indicated that the CFU concentration in the library was significantly influenced by the air quality surrounding the building, the number of library visitors, and the hygiene and health of both visitors and employees. Additionally, indoor temperature and humidity were found to be key factors affecting CFU concentration. These findings suggest the need for better ventilation and air filtration systems, as well as regular cleaning and disinfection in public libraries. Furthermore, research is recommended to investigate other potential factors that may impact indoor air quality in public spaces.
