Short-range bioaerosol deposition and inhalation of cough droplets and performance of personalized ventilation

open access: yesAerosol Science and Technology, 2021
A short distance between infected persons and exposed persons can probably result in a high risk of respiratory infection. This work experimentally investigated the short-range bioaerosol deposition and inhalation by a healthy person (HP) and the effect ...

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

open access: yesClinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.
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.

Characterization and parameters for the effectiveness of a UV‐C device for infection control in dental clinics

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Purpose‐built UV‐C device achieves over 90% disinfection of high‐touch dental clinic surfaces. Abstract Healthcare‐associated infections (HAIs) remain a significant concern in dental settings, especially in light of increasing antimicrobial resistance.

Fungal bioaerosols in biomethanization facilities [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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.

Propagation of viral bioaerosols indoors

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2021
Here we look into the spread of aerosols indoors that may potentially carry viruses. Many viruses, including the novel SARS-CoV-2, are known to spread via airborne and air-dust pathways. From the literature data and our research on the propagation of fine aerosols, we simulate herein the carryover of viral aerosols in indoor air.

The Global Impact of Bacterial Antimicrobial Resistance: Addressing Gaps and Future Strategies

open access: yesPublic Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Antimicrobial resistance remains a major global health threat, with the greatest burden concentrated in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Driven by antibiotic misuse, weak diagnostics, and human‐animal‐environmental transmission, the crisis demands a One Health response.

Distribution Characteristics and Factors Influencing Culturable Bacterial Bioaerosols on a Dairy Farm in Northern China

open access: yesAgriculture, 2023
Studying the distribution characteristics of bioaerosols and their interaction with the environment is crucial for dairy farms. The distribution of aerosols differs in dairy farming from farming of other livestock, and their sensitivity to environmental ...

CFD modelling of transient pathogen release in indoor environments due to human activity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Certain routine hospital activities have been identified as a potential source for the airborne dispersal of micro-organisms. With increasing use of CFD to model hospital situations a method of modelling this type of spread within a simple steady state ...
