Microorganisms, like fungi and bacteria, among other environmental factors maybe a serious threat to the library and its archives, as well as, cause harm to allergic
or immunosuppressed people. We collected sample material from books, file boxes,
pictures, shelves, and wood box surfaces, as well as, environmental air from a damp
and unventilated archive room, of the basement of one building of the Faculty of
Medicine. Aspergillus spp, Penicillium spp, Mucor spp among others fungi were
isolated in sampled material and air. This study points to the possibility of accidental
work diseases in neglected and closed spaces like this one.
