Exposure Assessment of Biological Agents in Indoor Environments [PDF]
Korean Journal of Environmental Health Sciences, 2009 The Institute of Medicine of the National Academies of Science in the United States concluded in its 2004 report that excessive indoor dampness is a public health hazard and that its prevention should be a public health goal. Water damage in buildings, such as leaks from roofs, walls, or windows, may increase indoor moisture levels.

Aerobiology and Inhalation Exposure to Biological Select Agents and Toxins
Veterinary Pathology, 2010 Aerosol is the most likely route of dissemination of biological select agents and toxins in a bioterrorist attack, regardless of the natural route of exposure to the agent. The use of animal models for testing preventative and therapeutic countermeasures requires knowledge of the pathogenesis of disease after inhalation exposure. Factors that relate to
