Inhaling to mitigate exhaled bioaerosols [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004
Humans commonly exhale aerosols comprised of small droplets of airway-lining fluid during normal breathing. These “exhaled bioaerosols” may carry airborne pathogens and thereby magnify the spread of certain infectious diseases, such as influenza, tuberculosis, and severe acute respiratory syndrome.

Re‐Evaluating Springtime as Southern Arizona's Dust Season

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The existing literature largely identifies spring as Arizona's predominant dust season, when synoptic‐scale dust events are most frequent and “Fine Soil” measurements from the IMPROVE (Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments) network reach a yearly maximum.

Production Phase Affects the Bioaerosol Microbial Composition and Functional Potential in Swine Confinement Buildings

Animals, 2019
Bioaerosols from swine confinement buildings (SCBs) pose a challenge to public health,and microorganisms within the SCBs bioaerosols originate from swine feces, of which the microbialcomposition is associated with the production phase.

Prevalence and Spatial Distribution of Chronic Respiratory Diseases in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania: Hydrological and Household Influences

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Chronic Respiratory Diseases (CRDs) are a major global health burden, causing significant mortality and morbidity. The World Health Organization reports CRDs led to 4.1 million deaths in 2023, affecting 454.6 million people (5.54% globally). While tobacco smoking is the leading risk factor, others include air pollution, occupational hazards ...

Identification and Quantification of Volatile Organic Compounds and Bioaerosols in the Conservation Processes of Guanche Mummies

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 561-572, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Guanche mummies, ancient inhabitants of the Canary Islands, represent a significant part of the historical heritage preserved at the Museum of Nature and Archaeology (MUNA) in Tenerife, Spain. These mummies, subjected to artificial conservation practices, are of great interest to conservators seeking to understand their mummification ...

A Walk in the Park: Influence of Natural Co‐Exposure to Grass Pollen and Fungal Spores on Nasal Mycobiome and Cytokine Responses

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, Volume 56, Issue 6, Page 617-628, June 2026.
Volunteers stayed 3 h indoors and followed 1 h outdoors in a flowering meadow. Nasal mycobiome was analysed and aeroallergen content measured in nasal filters. Airborne fungal spores were quantified and fungal isolates were sequenced. Isolated fungal spores were used for stimulation of nasal epithelial cells.

Seasonal Variability of Precipitation‐Associated Bioaerosols, Including Viruses, and Their Links to Cloud Ice Processes and Precipitation in a Coastal City

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Viruses constitute a significant subset of bioaerosols whose roles in cloud ice processes remain understudied. Continuous observations of viruses and total airborne microbes (TAMs) in precipitation were conducted in Qingdao from March 2024 to December 2025.
