Análisis de la calidad del aire intramural mediante a determinación de bioaersoles en el aereopuerto Guaymaral Flaminio Suarez Camacho

Abstract

Objective. To determine the presence of bioaerosols at Guaymaral Airport Flaminio Suárez Camacho as a potential source of risk. Materials and methods. Areas with high influence and low wind flow were selected for air sampling, where environmental factors were measured. At the same time, particulate matter concentrations were assessed to evaluate their possible impact on the dispersion of biological contaminants. Data were analyzed in IBM SPSS using correlation and group comparison tests, selected according to data distribution. Results. An average of 54 CFU/m³ of bacteria was quantified, with a greater predominance of airborne fungi (365 CFU/m³). Significant correlations were identified between environmental variables, as well as positive associations between bacterial CFU and CEM (r = 0.577; p < 0.001) and relative humidity (r = 0.519; p < 0.001), and a weak relationship between fungal CFU and particulate matter (r = 0.313; p = 0.049). No significant differences were observed among sampling sites; however, temporal differences were evident for bacteria and particulate matter, with differential fungal behavior on sampling date 3. Conclusions. The study identified bioaerosols as a potential health risk influenced by environmental.
