Sensitivity optimisation of tuberculosis bioaerosol sampling.
PLoS ONE, 2020 IntroductionDetection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in patient-derived bioaerosol is a potential tool to measure source case infectiousness. However, current bioaerosol sampling approaches have reported low detection yields in sputum-positive TB ...

Fungal bioaerosols in biomethanization facilities [PDF]
Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association, 2018 Biomethanization is a new technology used for green-waste valorization where organic waste is biodegraded by microbial communities under anaerobic conditions. The main product of this type of anaerobic digestion is a biogas used as an energy source. Moving and handling organic waste may lead to the emission of high concentrations of bioaerosols.

Indoor bioaerosol dynamics [PDF]
Indoor Air, 2014 Inhaling indoor air is the primary means by which humans are exposed to bioaerosols. Considering bacteria, fungi, and viruses, this study reviews the dynamic processes that govern indoor concentrations and fates of biological particulate material. Bioaerosol behavior is strongly coupled to particle size; this study emphasizes the range 0.1-10 μm in ...
