Bioaerosol Release from Concentrated Microbial Suspensions in Bubbling Processes

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2022
Bursting bubbles are one of the most common mechanisms in aerosols’ formation from natural and artificial waterbodies. The presence of microbial materials in the liquid could cause their aerosolization and generation of bioaerosols.
