Caracterización Microbiológica del Material Particulado Intramural y del Agua de Consumo en Jardines de la Secretaría de Integración Social en la Localidad de Usme

Abstract

The high prevalence of respiratory-borne and water consumption in children of 0-5 years in Usme diseases possibly related to air emissions from major avenues, where the primary sources are the flow of vehicles and emissions diseases from the Industrial Mining Park, are risk factors harmful to health. It may be mentioned that the particulate material from such sites as a means of transport for pathogens and opportunistic microorganisms, contributing to increased respiratory disease in the town. In others, damages to health related to water pollution and much of the town is supplied with water by community water systems, leading to threats such as acute diarrheal disease - EDA, commonly developed in closed institutions such as circles children, schools and military units. For this reason characterization microbiological indoor air and drinking water using the method of collecting samples of air suction equipment MAS 100-ECO and manual sampling of drinking water quality in order to determine held and correlating the main pathogens in intramural existing environments and drinking water present in five kindergartens of the District Department of Social Integration of Usme, and thereby determine the risk factor for the presence of microorganisms in these gardens. The most frequent in the indoor air during the sampling period in the five gardens of study bacteria were Pseudomonas spp with 1468 CFU/m3, Serratia spp with 1436 CFU/m3 and Staphylococcus aureus 947 CFU/m3, while fungi more Frequently identified were: Aspergillus fumigatus with 687 CFU/m3 and Aspergillus niger 348 CFU/m3. In drinking water Enterobacteriaceae low frequency was observed with 198 CFU/m3 and Total Coliforms 142 CFU/m3.
