Research project ST/15 (Research action ST)
THEME.
Allergies, respiratory diseases and air-conditioning.
OBJECTIVES.
- Development of a diagnostic method enabling the causal link to be demonstrated between allergens carried by air-conditioning and certain
allergic reactions.
- Evaluation of the presence of secondary metabolites (volatile mycotoxins and bacterial endotoxins) produced by the most common species and evaluation of the toxic reactions they induce.
- Study of the effectiveness of the maintenance procedures most commonly carried out by air- conditioning management firms (disinfection using a variety of substances or by ultraviolet radiation, deconcentration, etc.) with the final aim of formulating recommendations for firms specialising
in this field.
