Dust in Riding Halls:A Potential Health Threat to Horses and Men?
The aim of this ongoing study is the evaluation of the air quality in riding halls with a special eruphasis on particle load and occurrence of bacteria.The longitudinal monthly sampling allows a detailed investigation on the dynamics of microhial and particle load over time before and after a standardized riding program.Four riding halls in Saxony-Anhalt.Germany,with different footing material are visited monthly over the course of one year.The measurements take place at defined points of the riding halls at the height of the horses and the riders nose(1.5 m and 2.5 m over the ground).The spectrum of analyzed bacteria in combination with the respective dust load provides useful information on the actual exposure and possible health consequences for horses and men.
