Assessing the generation and dispersal of respiratory particles using upper respiratory commensal bacteria as index organisms for respiratory pathogens

Scientific Reports
There is a need to better understand the dispersal and spread of respiratory pathogens. However, carrying out controlled microbiology-based simulation studies is difficult, particularly if the target organism is highly pathogenic or is currently unknown.

Diagnosis and evaluation of fungi presence in the air of two different ventilation sytems for broiler houses

Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science, 2005
Intensive broiler production in tropical climates requires adequate air circulation to control heat stress. Excess of air speed may lead to dust production and reduction of air quality and, consequently, production parameters.

Microbiological aspects of the removal of chlorinated hydrocarbons from air [PDF]

Biodegradation, 1993
Chlorinated hydrocarbons are widely used synthetic chemicals that are frequently present in industrial emissions. Bacterial degradation has been demonstrated for several components of this class of compounds. Structural features that affect the degradability include the number of chlorine atoms and the presence of oxygen substituents.
