Expertos del IRNAS estudian la aerobiología de la cueva de Castañar de Ibor

A consortium of three CSIC centres (National Museum of Natural Sciences, Institute of Geosciences and Institute of Natural Resources and Agrobiology of Seville) will perform a study on the geology, micro-environmental parameters and aerobiology of the cave by means of a contract recently signed by the Regional government of Extremadura and CSIC. The members of IRNAS research group “Environmental Microbiology and Cultural Heritage” will study the aerobiology of the cave sampling the air in several indoor points along the next fifteen months. The results of the study will serve as the basement for the update and development of the tools for the planning and management of the Natural Monument “Cueva del Castañar”. More info here.
