• Indirect immunodetection of fungal fragments by field emission scanning electron microscopy 

      Afanou, Komlavi Anani; Straumfors, Anne; Skogstad, Asbjørn; Nayak, Ajay P.; Skaar, Ida; Hjeljord, Linda; Tronsmo, Arne; Wijnand, Eduard; Green, Brett James (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)
      Submicronic fungal fragments have been observed in in vitro aerosolization experiments. The occurrence of these particles has therefore been suggested to contribute to respiratory health problems observed in mold-contaminated ...
    • Profile and morphology of fungal aerosols characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) 

      Afanou, Komlavi Anani; Straumfors, Anne; Skogstad, Asbjørn; Skaar, Ida; Hjeljord, Linda; Skare, Øivind; Green, Brett James; Tronsmo, Arne; Wijnand, Eduard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)
      Fungal aerosols consist of spores and fragments with diverse array of morphologies; however, the size, shape, and origin of the constituents require further characterization. In this study, we characterize the profile of ...
    • Submicronic fungal bioaerosols: High-resolution microscopic characterization and quantification 

      Afanou, Komlavi Anani; Straumfors, Anne; Skogstad, Asbjørn; Nilsen, Terje; Synnes, Ole Martin; Skaar, Ida; Hjeljord, Linda; Tronsmo, Arne; Green, Brett James; Wijnand, Eduard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)
      Submicronic particles released from fungal cultures have been suggested to be additional sources of personal exposure in mold-contaminated buildings. In vitro generation of these particles has been studied with particle ...
