• Resumen

  • One of the most frequent causes of water damage in offices is malfunction of air conditioning units. In old office buildings, wet wooden floor, often covered with carpet lining, relatively quick creates excellent conditions for growth of microorganisms. The aim of the study was to assess the level of microbial contamination in indoor air due to a massive leakage of the air conditioning unit and some corrective measures taken after such water damage.
