Re‐Evaluating Springtime as Southern Arizona's Dust Season

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The existing literature largely identifies spring as Arizona's predominant dust season, when synoptic‐scale dust events are most frequent and “Fine Soil” measurements from the IMPROVE (Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments) network reach a yearly maximum.

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.

Prevalence and Spatial Distribution of Chronic Respiratory Diseases in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania: Hydrological and Household Influences

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Chronic Respiratory Diseases (CRDs) are a major global health burden, causing significant mortality and morbidity. The World Health Organization reports CRDs led to 4.1 million deaths in 2023, affecting 454.6 million people (5.54% globally). While tobacco smoking is the leading risk factor, others include air pollution, occupational hazards ...

High concentration of coagulase-negative staphylococci carriage among bioaerosols of henhouses in Central China

BMC Microbiology, 2020
Background Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are a group of opportunistic pathogens, which are widely spread in the environment. Animal breeding is an important source of pathogen spreading. However, the concentration and characteristics of CoNS in

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

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, Volume 56, Issue 6, Page 617-628, June 2026.
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.
