Securing the Wind? Governing Atmospheric Life Above Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Geographer, Volume 82, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Birds, dust and smoke are all periodic windborne visitors to Aotearoa New Zealand. These visitors are, however, only the most visible tip of a churning atmosphere teeming with life. Drawing on work examining the assemblage of volumetric territoriality, this paper explores the framing of the atmosphere in biosecurity world‐making.

Assessment of occupational exposure to azole resistant fungi in 10 Portuguese bakeries [PDF]

, 2017
Occupational exposure to bioaerosols resulting from handling of flour dust and raw materials in bakeries is associated with health problems. The emergence of azole-resistant fungal species in the environment is thought to be related to the use of azole ...

Ice‐Nucleating Particle and Cloud Ice Crystal Concentrations Associated With Developing Summertime Deep Convective Clouds in South‐Western USA

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Ice‐nucleating particles (INPs), essential for initiating primary ice production in many mixed‐phase clouds, have only rarely been measured in air directly relevant for deep convective clouds. In July–August 2022 we used an aircraft to sample aerosol near developing deep convective clouds over Magdalena Mountain, New Mexico, USA.

Health Outcomes of Exposure to Biological and Chemical Components of Inhalable and Respirable Particulate Matter [PDF]

, 2016
Particulate matter (PM) is a key indicator of air pollution and a significant risk factor for adverse health outcomes in humans. PM is not a self-contained pollutant but a mixture of different compounds including chemical and biological fractions.

Aerosol‐Cloud Interactions: Overcoming a Barrier to Projecting Near‐Term Climate Evolution and Risk

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Aerosol‐cloud interactions (ACI) are a major source of uncertainty in climate science, critically affecting our ability to project near‐term climate evolution and assess societal risks. These interactions influence effective radiative forcing, cloud dynamics, and precipitation patterns, yet remain insufficiently constrained due to limitations ...

Sensitivity optimisation of tuberculosis bioaerosol sampling

PLOS ONE, 2020
AbstractIntroductionDetection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in patient-derived bioaerosol is a potential tool to measure source case infectiousness. However, current bioaerosol sampling approaches have reported low detection yields in sputum-positive TB cases.

Bacterial Communities as Modulators of Innate Immune Signalling: An In Vitro Perspective on Toll‐Like Receptor Activation

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Bacterial contaminants in occupational environments may elicit an immune response. This study investigated the immune‐modulatory potential of bacterial communities using in vitro cell‐based assays and revealed distinctive bacterial species as drivers of TLR2 and TLR4 activation. The presented approach studied the role of bacterial species as modulators

Comparison of indoor and outdoor fungi and particles in poultry units [PDF]

, 2012
A descriptive study was developed in order to compare indoor and outdoor air contamination caused by fungi and particles in seven poultry units. Twenty eight air samples of 25 litters were collected through the impaction method on malt extract agar ...
