inverse correlation (r¼0.348, p ¼ 0.08). Although the correlation
is not significant, the variable, together with the variable area per
person, showed the highest significance level among tested variables.
A similar conclusion was drawn by Ref. [45], who found
relative humidity to have a more significant impact on concentration
of fungi as compared to the impact of the occupied area. The
positive association between relative humidity and concentrations
of airborne fungi aligns with the fact that high relative humidity
allows fungal growth. However, the observation contrasts with the
more transient observation that more spores are aerosolised from
many different common indoor fungi at high air velocity if the
fungal colonised area is dried out [20,23]. High relative humidity
has also been shown as a factor to increase fungal concentrations in
other continents and cultures [5,45]. Analysing the impact of occupants'
presence [35], showed fungal levels of
8.2 102 CFU m2 day1 (average level) in absence of occupants
and of 3.0 103 CFU m2 day1 (average level) when occupants
were present. This difference was not significant in this study,
however.
