| Summary: | The aim of this study is to determine the concentration of particulate matter and airborne
microorganism and to evaluate the relationship between particulate matter and airborne
microorganism in goat farm of Pasir Akar, Terengganu, Malaysia. Aeroqual 500 series sensor was used
to collect particulate matter, while DRF e-MAS was used to catch the airborne microorganism. The
collected airborne microorganism was incubated in laboratory and the colony forming unit (cfu) of
airborne microorganism was determined using Omeliansky's formula based on colonial observation
formed after incubation. The data were analysed using descriptive analysis to gain parameter
concentration and regression analysis to gain significance difference and correlation to assess the
relationship between particulates and airborne microbes. As a result, any particulate matter changes
will affect airborne microorganism population. |
