B. Exposure Assessment and Analytical Methods

Why is there exposure● How do we assess and measure it ● Modern analytical tools to better characterize exposure. What are important microbial agents ● Relationship between moisture and bio-deterioration ● Are there any reliable threshold levels for agents in exposure assessment ● Prevalence of moisture defects and bioaerosol problems in countries in transition - regional differences?
