Summary:PURPOSE:To simply and rapidly detect microorganisms floating in air by filtering specimen air by a filter having specific very small hole diameter and measuring the amount of adenosine-3-phosphate (ATP) caught on a filter. CONSTITUTION:In detecting microorganisms such as bacteria or fungi floating in air, specimen air is filtered by using a filter having <=2mum hole diameter, organisms existing in air are caught on the filter and the amount of ATP in the caught microorganisms is measured. The amount of ATP measured when specimen air is filtered by using the filter having 2mum hole diameter is an amount derived from fungi. The value obtained by subtracting the amount of ATP measured when specimen air is filtered by using the filter having 2mum hole diameter from the amount of ATP measured when specimen air is filtered by using a filter having <=0.45mum hole diameter is the amount of ATP derived from bacteria.
