Spearman rank-order correlations (rho) between microbial and dust loads in carpet versus their concentration infant breathing zone during crawling experiments on 17 carpets. Microbial concentrations were determined with qPCR and expressed as load in dust (CE per square meter of carpet) versus air concentrations (CE per cubic meter of air). The size and shading of the circles indicate the strength of the correlation in addition to the correlation coefficients shown (rho). The significant correlations are marked with asterisks. The correlations of dust load (Dustload), PM mass concentration (PM_massconc), Cladosporium herbarum (Cherb), Penicillium/Aspergillus group (PenAsp), total fungal DNA (Totalfungi), and Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Grampos, Gramneg) were explored
