Bioaerosol in the Dental Office

Česká Stomatologie a Praktické Zubní Lékařství, 2016
Background: One of the possible way of transmission and spread of the infectious agents in the dental office is the airway (the air transmission). This is an indirect transmission of infectious agents.

Development of a Bioaerosol single particle detector (BIO IN) for the Fast Ice Nucleus CHamber FINCH [PDF]

, 2010
In this work we present the setup and first tests of our new BIO IN detector. This detector was constructed to classify atmospheric ice nuclei (IN) for their biological content. It is designed to be coupled to the Fast Ice Nucleus CHamber FINCH.
