Abstract

Context: Bioaerosols are associated with a wide spectrum of health effects, including infections and contagious diseases, acute toxicities, allergies, and even cancer.Evidence Acquisition: Previous publications describing research conducted in healthcare and community settings during the years 2001 - 2016wereincluded in this analysis. Thewordsbioaerosol, contamination, bacteria, fungi, viruses, andIranwereexplored via the use of search engines such as PubMed, Google, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. A total of 28 studies were found.Results: The levels of bacterial contamination were higher than those found in the fungal species. The most isolated of the bacterial species wereS. aureus (38.24%) and Micrococci (31.6%), and the most isolated of the fungal species were Penicillium (32.28%) and Aspergillusspp (22.78%). The highest levels of contamination were detected in infectious disease (ID) settings (mean=9186 cfu/m3 for bacteria and 27 24 for fungi). Moreover, levels of indoor air contamination were lower than the world health organization (WHO) standards, with the exception ofS. aureus at 201 cfu/m3 and 189 cfu/m3 in infectious disease (ID) and intensive care unit (ICU) settings, respectively. In terms of geographic area and cultural differences, the numbers of bacterial and fungal agents were not significantly different (i.e., North versus South and East versusWest). Moisture levels were significantly related to air contamination (pv=0.02).Conclusions: The levels of air contamination inside hospital and healthcare settings were lower than the WHO mean standard. Active air sampling methods are necessary for measuring bioaerosol contamination. There were no significant differences in the levels of contamination found in various indoor settings in Iran. Efficient ventilation systems and contamination prevention or minimization are necessary for these settings.
