A Controlled Study on the Characterisation of Bioaerosols Emissions from Compost
Bioaerosol emissions arising from biowaste treatment are an issue of public concern. To better characterise the bioaerosols, and to assess a range of measurement methods, we aerosolised green waste compost under controlled conditions.

Combustion characteristics of water-insoluble elemental and organic carbon in size selected ambient aerosol particles [PDF]
Combustion of elemental carbon (EC) and organic carbon (OC) contained in ambient aerosol matter was explored using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in combination with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX).

Airborne DNA and Spider Webs Outperform Other eDNA Sources for Monitoring Terrestrial Vertebrates
ABSTRACT Understanding the strengths and limitations of different environmental DNA substrates is essential for optimising terrestrial vertebrate surveys and monitoring. However, the performance of newly explored substrates (airborne eDNA, vegetation swabs, spiderwebs) compared to longstanding eDNA sources (water and soil) is uncertain.

Inhaling to mitigate exhaled bioaerosols [PDF]
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.

Hand eczema (HE) prevalence was 25% in waste workers and 40% in office personnel. Atopic dermatitis and nicotine/snus use predicted hand eczema. Increased bacterial contamination was associated with recent HE. ABSTRACT Introduction Hand eczema, skin barrier function and skin microbial contamination among waste workers are underexplored. This study aims

Asthma in Patients With Confirmed Pulmonary Sarcoidosis
Pulmonary sarcoidosis and asthma can present identical symptoms, making clinical evaluation difficult if the two diseases overlap. Diagnostic challenges often lead to either overdiagnosis of asthma in patients with confirmed sarcoidosis or withholding appropriate asthma treatment.

Development of a bioaerosol single particle detector (BIO IN) for the fast ice nucleus chamber FINCH [Discussion paper] [PDF]
In this work we present the setup and first tests of our new BIO IN detector. This detector is designed to classify atmospheric ice nuclei (IN) for their biological content.

Microbial and Chemical Drivers of Indoor Air Quality in Educational Environments
Indoor air quality (IAQ) in educational facilities is shaped by a dynamic interplay of microbial, chemical and physical factors, all of which influence health and cognitive performance. This study explored IAQ in university classrooms by combining microbiological, chemical and physical measurements to better understand microbial–chemical interactions ...

Lidar‐Based Observations of Pollen Above a Mixed Hardwood Forest in the United States
Abstract We present lidar (LIght Detection And Ranging) and particle measurements from a mixed hardwood forest in northern Michigan over a 74‐day period in April–July 2016, capturing the peak spring tree pollen emissions season. Mini Micropulse Lidar (MPL) observations of the normalized ratio backscatter and depolarization ratios show pollen plumes ...
