The temperature and humidity of the autopsy room, the number of the people in the room and the number of the autopsies according to the seasons are given on Table 1.
The temperature of the autopsyroom pre- autopsy (p= 0.000), while performing the autopsy (p= 0.004) and post- autopsy (p= 0.039), were significantly higher in the summer than the values found in the spring.
The humidity recorded in the autopsy room was significantly low in the summer (because of air conditioner) as compared to the value found in the spring (p=0.009).
The amount of fungi grown detected using air sampler device when the temperature was above 240 C was observed significantly lower than those grown when the temperature was 240 C or below (p= 0.004). The mean humidity value of the room at the time of the autopsy was 56%.
The humidity values recorded at both periods were analyzed based upon the values as 56- below and values above 56.
It was determined that humidity had no effect on the amount of bacteria and fungi grown by two methods during
each sampling season (p>0.05).
