Indoor air bacterial quality and associated factors in prison inmate cells of East Hararghe Zone and Harari Regional State, Eastern Ethiopia
The levels of bacteria were higher than the guideline (2000 CFU/m3). While the relative humidity of indoor air was negatively correlated with bacterial load, temperature and bacterial load were significantly positively correlated. Harari regional state and East Hararghe zone prison commissions should be alarmed to alleviate these problems. The building standards need to be completely updated to the latest standards.
