| dc.description.abstract | Occupational exposure to fungi in the cork industry is responsible for several respiratory problems and can be influenced by factors such as automation level of the production process, type of ventilation, storage conditions and cooking times of cork boards. Thus, the main objective of this study was to evaluated and identified fungal species existing in the air and surfaces of slicing and punching workplaces in cork small and medium-sized companies (SMEs). Air and surfaces samples were collected in five cork SMEs, included a total of eighteen workplaces. The collection of pure fungal colonies and their respective isolation was performed by plaque scoring technique, and DNA extraction, followed by the PCR technique and sequencing. The fungi identified were Penicillium glabrum and Neurospora spp. Improve the ventilation and storage conditions, as well as increase automation level of the production can reduce the risk of occupational exposure in SMEs. | pt_PT |
