It has been proven that exposure to bioaerosols is associated with several health effects, such as pulmonary diseases and allergies. The present cross-sectional study was aimed to investigate fungal contamination in indoor air and on the surfaces of four traditional baths in Shiraz, Iran, one of the most historical cities in the world. Samples were taken from indoor air, using a microbial air sampler, as well as the surfaces of the shower, hallway, and dressing rooms of studied baths for 3 months. Totally 180 samples, including 45 air and 135 surfaces samples, were collected from studied baths. The concentrations of fungi collected from the air of studied baths were ranged from 22.6 to 34.6 CFU/m³. Besides, the levels of fungi collected from the surface samples of studied baths were ranged from 21.2 to 60 CFU/m². The highest and lowest fungi species detected both in air and surfaces samples of the studied baths were Penicillium spp. and Mucor spp. respectively. Although the levels of fungi in the studied baths were lower than the levels recommended by the World Health Organization, some environmental health measures such as washing and disinfecting surfaces and tools after each working shift and periodic inspections are recommended ensuring the safety of costumers who are visiting such places.

已经证明，接触生物气溶胶与多种健康影响有关，例如肺部疾病和过敏。本横断面研究旨在调查伊朗设拉子（世界上历史最悠久的城市之一）的室内空气和四个传统浴室表面的真菌污染。使用微生物空气采样器从室内空气以及研究浴室的淋浴间、走廊和更衣室表面采集 3 个月的样本。从研究的浴池中收集了总共 180 个样品，包括 45 个空气和 135 个表面样品。从研究浴池的空气中收集的真菌浓度范围为 22.6 至 34.6 CFU/m ³. 此外，从研究浴池的表面样本中收集的真菌水平范围为 21.2 至 60 CFU/m ²。在所研究浴池的空气和表面样品中检测到的最高和最低真菌种类是青霉菌属。和毛霉属。分别。虽然所研究浴池中的真菌含量低于世界卫生组织推荐的水平，但建议采取一些环境卫生措施，例如在每次轮班后对表面和工具进行清洗和消毒以及定期检查，以确保来访者的安全这样的地方。
