본 연구에서는 에어컨 내에서 서식하는 세균을 분리하여 동정하였고 이들 에어컨에 대한 위생 관리에 대하여 조사하였다. 20개의 에어컨 냉각기에서 8종의 세균이 분리, 동정되었는데 그것들은 가장 많이 분리 동정된 Pantoea sp.를 비롯하여 Bacillus circulans, Bacillus pumilus, Corynebacterium, Flavimonas oryzihabitans, Ochrobacterum anthropi, Micrococcus sp., non fermented bacilli (NFB)이었다. 한편 에어컨 사용자 1,322명을 대상으로 에어컨의 위생관리 상태에 대하여 조사하였는데 설문자의 1,138명(86%)이 에어컨 사용시 환기를 하는 것으로 나타났다. 에어컨 청소에 있어서 1,128명(85%)이 청소를 하는 것으로 나타났지만 에어컨의 오염원들이 되는 에어컨의 필터 청소는 864명(66%)이 하지 않는 것으로 나타났고 에어컨의 열교환기는 1089명(82%)이 하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이런 결과로 상기에서 언급된 세균들과 같은 에어컨 오염원이 증가하면 호흡기 질환과 같은 인간의 질병을 초래할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었고 따라서 에어컨 사용시 에어컨의 오염원제거와 위생관리는 에어컨내 세균으로부터 발생되는 인간의 질병을 예방할 수 있을 것이다.
