dc.description.abstract | The air quality in air-conditioned mass transport buses may affect bus drivers’ health. In bus air quality improvement with the voluntary participation of bus drivers by opening the exhaust ventilation fans in the bus was implemented in the Seventh Bus Zone of Bangkok Mass Transit Authority. Four bus numbers, including bus numbers 16, 63, 67 and 166, were randomly selected to investigate microbial air quality and to observe the effect of opening the exhaust ventilation fans in the bus. With each bus number, 9 to 10 air-conditioned buses (total, 39 air-conditioned buses) were included. In-bus air samples were collected at 5 points in each studied bus using the Millipore Air Tester. A total of 195 air samples were cultured for bacterial and fungal counts. The results reveal that the exhaust ventilation fans of 17 air-conditioned buses (43.6%) were opened to ventilate in bus air during the cycle of the bus route. The means ± SD of bacterial counts and fungal counts in the studied buses with opened exhaust ventilation fans (83.8 ± 70.7 and 38.0 ± 42.8 cfu/m3) were significantly lower than those in the studied buses without opened exhaust ventilation fans (199.6 ± 138.8 and 294.1 ± 178.7 cfu/m3), p500 cfu/m3). Of the studied buses with opened exhaust ventilation fans (17 buses), the bacterial and fungal counts after opening the exhaust ventilation fans (68.3 ± 33.8 and 28.3 ± 19.3 cfu/m3) were significantly lower than those before opening the exhaust ventilation fans (158.3 ± 116.9 and 85.3 ± 71.2 cfu/m3), p<0.005. | en |
