The problem of air pollution has been a challenge for modern humanity in recent times. The environment, including the air, is burdened by a large amount of pollutants that are released into the environment. The atmosphere contains primary and secondary pollutants, emitted as basic or specific pollutants. Air pollution is present in industrial areas and larger cities, with the fact that there are no areas without any impact of air pollution. Air pollution is also present in the Republic of Srpska, as is the case in other areas. Areas of increased pollution in Republic of Srpska, with high concentrations of pollution, can further worsen the impact on the population and lead to unwanted health effects.

“…Efficient corrective methods are urgently needed to combat the problem of indoor air quality: bacteria, pollen grains, smoke, humidity, chemical substances, and gases released by anthropogenic activity have adverse health effects on humans. Methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA) strainsin long-term care facilities are often more associated with colonialism than clinical infection 7 .…”

Staphylococcus Sp.is the most common type of bacteria found in contamination place, we design this study to compare the contamination accident between two hospitals in Baghdad.One of them isthe Burns Specialist Hospital in the Medical CityinRusafa and another one is Al-Karama Hospital in Karkh. The samples were collected fromOperativeWard No1 (OW1), Operative Ward No2 (OW2), Consulting Pharmacy (CP), Emergency Room (ER), Reception Room (RR), Women's Ward (WW) and Men's Ward (MW).The samples were taken from inside each clinical unit, surfaces, food, and air. The results showed that the number of samples containing Staphylococcus sp. bacteria is 81, including 45 belonging to Al-Karama Burns Ward Hospital and 36 belonging to the Medical City Hospital, Burns Special Hospital. The results of Medical City Hospital showed that Staphylococcus sp.isolates resist many antibiotics, 99.99% of the isolatesfrom patient samples were resistant to(CLR, P, AMP); 92.30% of the isolates from air samples were resistant to(P, MET) and 85.71%of isolates from surfaces and food samples were resist for (AMP, MET). Also the results of Al-KaramaHospital showed that the highest resistance in the staphylococcus sp.isolateswere in patient samplesfor (AMP, SXT), in surface samples for (E), in food samples for (E,P) and in air samples for (P) and the resistance rates were 100% to all these antibiotics.

“…A previous study has reported that an indoor air temperature exceeding 25 o C can cause an increase in fungi growth (Zender-Świercz et al, 2019). It is also suggested that there is a correlation between the amount of fungi and the indoor air temperature (Stojanović Bjelić, Ilić and Farooqi, 2020). Molds produce millions of spores, and they are loosely attached that even slight air currents will disturb the spores, making them airborne.…”

Introduction: Mold may affect the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in workplace dormitories. This study aims to investigate indoor air factors that affect molds growth in a dormitory of an LNG Company in Indonesia. Several indoor air determinant factors, including relative humidity, general temperature, wet temperature, dry temperature, air velocity, illumination, particulate matter, and carbon dioxide concentration were assessed against the growth of microorganism colonies. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study using a 2 (two)-stage Andersen sampler based on NIOSH 0800 Bioaerosol Sampling Method for Indoor Air Quality for viable bioaerosol sampling. Bioaerosol samples were collected from 50 indoor, corridor, and outdoor sampling points. The total colony count for bioaerosols (TCC) was then determined (CFU/m3). Ten indoor air quality parameters, i.e., relative humidity, general temperature, wet temperature, dry temperature, air velocity, illumination, particulate matter, and carbon dioxide concentration, were measured. Results: The average mold colony concentration in the dormitory rooms was higher (703.1 CFU/m3) than the maximum standard issued by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia (< 700 CFU/m3) while the relative humidity was very high (84.4% RH on average), with a direct relation between the humidity and the mold colony concentration. A significant correlation was also identified between mold colony concentration, wet temperature, and CO2 concentration. Conclusion: Significant correlations between bioaerosols, relative humidity, wet temperature, and indoor CO2 concentration indicate insufficient ventilation and poor indoor air quality in the dormitory.
