Hygienic Characteristics of Mycological Contamination of the Indoor Environment of Hotel Complexes

Abstract

The article addresses the issues of hygienic assessment of mycological contamination of the indoor environment in residential and public buildings. The study presents the results of an analysis of the quantitative and qualitative composition of microscopic fungi in indoor air and on interior surfaces of premises with different functional purposes. The prevalence of opportunistic pathogenic and allergenic fungal species is assessed, as well as their role in the formation of unfavorable sanitary and hygienic living and occupancy conditions. The main factors contributing to the development of mycological contamination are considered, including humidity levels, ventilation efficiency, temperature conditions, and the condition of building structures. A comparative evaluation of the obtained data with current hygienic standards and sanitary regulations is carried out. The results of the study may be used to substantiate preventive measures aimed at improving indoor environmental quality and reducing the risk of adverse biological effects on human health
