Propagation of viral bioaerosols indoors

PLOS 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.

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

Photochemistry 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.

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

Public 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.

Surfactant‐Enhanced Electrospun Nanofiber Filters for Efficient Viral and Bacterial Inactivation

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 13, April 5, 2026.
In this work, electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibrous filters functionalized with surfactants (CTAB, CPC, and SDS) were developed for air filtration applications. The PAN nanofiber mats enable efficient particulate matter capture while simultaneously providing antimicrobial and antiviral activity against bacteria (E. coli and S.

Simultaneous Multi‐Analyte Detection of Viruses in Livestock Using a Multi‐Channel Magnetoelastic Sensor

Advanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study presents a portable, smartphone‐linked multi‐channel magnetoelastic sensor for the simultaneous detection of three airborne livestock viruses (H1N1, CSFV, FMDV). The multi‐channel sensor demonstrates linear, virus‐specific frequency shifts over its detection range, and the accuracy of this device is comparable with that of vector network ...

Sources of airborne microorganisms in the built environment [PDF]

, 2015
Each day people are exposed to millions of bioaerosols, including whole microorganisms, which can have both beneficial and detrimental effects. The next chapter in understanding the airborne microbiome of the built environment is characterizing the ...

A Breath of Fresh Air: A Novel Passive Airborne eDNA Approach for Scalable Terrestrial Biodiversity Monitoring

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
The study introduces the Nutshell eDNA sampler, an inexpensive, reusable passive device for collecting environmental DNA from air to monitor terrestrial biodiversity. Tested at the Rotterdam Zoo, it detected numerous species and complimented active samplers in identifying zoo animals, continuing to accumulate DNA over longer sampling times and ...

Health Insecurity and Occupational Risk Factors Among Urban Waste Collectors in Dhaka City, Bangladesh: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Urban waste collectors play an essential role in maintaining urban sanitation, yet they remain one of the most occupationally vulnerable groups in rapidly urbanizing cities in low‐ and middle‐income countries. In Bangladesh, evidence on their occupational health insecurity and access to healthcare services remains limited ...

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.
