Figure 2

Total bacterial and mould counts before (BT) and after (AT) 1-hour treatment with ozone at the concentration of 15.71 mg/m3. Different letters denote significant differences between groups (p<0.05; nonparametric Wilcoxon rank-sum test)

Figure 3

Changes in bacterial counts and prevalence (%) by identified genera before (BT) and after (AT) ozone treatment (15.71 mg/m3) at the three sampling points. Different letters denote significant differences between groups (p<0.05; nonparametric Wilcoxon rank-sum test).
