Bioaerosols – Sources and control measures

International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health, 2008
In every field of activity where organic material is being handled, emissions of dust, gases, odor as well as bioaerosols are bound to arise. For this reason, waste management facilities or else agricultural enterprises are potential emission sources of bioaerosols.

Passive bioaerosol samplers: A complementary tool for bioaerosol research. A review

Journal of Aerosol Science, 2022
Bioaerosols consist of airborne particles of biological origin. They play an important role in our environment and may cause negative health effects. The presence of biological aerosol is typically determined using active samplers. While passive bioaerosol samplers are used much less frequently in bioaerosol investigations, they offer certain ...

Bioaerosol

2017
Cultural heritage constitutive materials can provide excellent substrates for microbial colonisation, highly influenced by thermo-hygrometric parameters. In cultural heritage-related environments, a detrimental microbial load may be present both on manufact surface and in the aerosol.

Continuous Surveillance of Bioaerosols On-Site Using an Automated Bioaerosol-Monitoring System

ACS Sensors, 2020
Real-time on-site monitoring of bioaerosols in an air environment is important for preventing various adverse health effects including respiratory diseases and allergies caused by bioaerosols. Here, we report the development of an on-site automated bioaerosol-monitoring system (ABMS) using integrated units including a wet-cyclone bioaerosol sampler, a ...

Bioaerosol

2008
Bioaerosols are defined as a collection of aerosolized biological particles which can vary greatly in size, ranging from less than 20 nm to 100 microns in diameter.The composition, size and concentration of the microbial populations comprising the bioaerosol vary with the source, dispersal mechanism in the air, and, most importantly the environmental ...

Bioaerosols in agriculture

2018
<p>Bioaerosols are present in agricultural settings and are known to cause adverse respiratory health effects among workers. Agricultural workers exposed to bioaerosols in the workplace are often above industry guideline concentrations. Yet, there are no standardized exposure limits in place for bioaerosols due to the lack of information and no ...

Fungal bioaerosols as an occupational hazard

Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2023
Purpose of review Over the past 40 years, the circumstances where fungal bioaerosols are major issues have shifted because of changes in the industrial sector from mainly agriculture to operations, including composting, cannabis production and forestry in hot humid conditions.

On-Line Monitoring and Identification of Bioaerosols

Analytical Chemistry, 2006
Fast analysis of bioaerosols in clean room environments is necessary in order to prevent contamination of pharmaceutical products, minimize machine downtimes, or both. The detection and identification of microbes will be carried out in several steps: After impaction of the aerosol on a surface, the particles are presorted with glancing light ...
