“…have not been studied extensively. However, several species of Trichoderma were found to cause allergenic sinusitis or hypersensitivity pneumonitis (Tang et al 2003;Enríquez-Matas et al 2007). It will be important to conduct research on the occupational exposure to Trichoderma harzianum and to determine any adverse effects on human health.…”

The objective was to determine potential exposure to airborne fungi in greenhouses and to characterize the temporal patterns of airborne fungi in relation to environmental conditions. We analyzed air samples collected in two greenhouses. Results showed that the top 5 fungi in greenhouse 1 were Trichoderma, hyphal fragments, Aspergillus/Penicillium-like, Cladosporium, and Botrytis in a descending order. Those in greenhouse 2 were Aspergillus/ Penicillium-like, Cladosporium, Botrytis, yeast-like, and hyphal fragments. Maximum concentrations of Trichoderma and total spores in greenhouse 1 were 36,426 and 49,729 spores/m 3 , respectively. Maximum concentrations of Aspergillus/Penicillium and total spores in greenhouse 2 were 46,961 and 71,037 spores/m 3 , respectively. Airborne fungal populations fluctuated dramatically within 2 h during work hours, tenfold for Aspergillus/Penicillium, 66-fold for Trichoderma, and sevenfold for total spores. QPCR detected Trichoderma harzianum ranging from 7 to 3,500 conidia E/m 3 . Aspergillus/Penicillium and Botrytis showed diurnal patterns, but not Trichoderma. Aspergillus/Penicillium and Cladosporium were positively correlated with temperature, relative humidity, dew point, heat index, and light and negatively with air movement and air pressure. Botrytis and Trichoderma were not correlated with the environmental factors. Greenhouse workers were potentially exposed up to 71,037 spores/m 3 of airborne fungi.

“…Allergic alveolitis is the potentially more serious of these conditions. Cases of allergic alveolitis have been described in association with water-damaged housing [11][12][13], although it is considered to be a rare outcome from exposure to water-damaged buildings [14,15]. In industrial hygiene terms, the presence of allergic alveolitis in one patient should be considered to be a sentinel event requiring the identifi cation of pertinent exposure and its remediation.…”
