Quantification of Viable Bioaerosol Emanation from an ACMV System and its Impact on Indoor Bioaerosol Pollution [PDF]
Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 2020 Viable bioaerosol can deposit and multiply in air-conditioning and mechanical ventilation (ACMV) systems, eventually entering indoor environments after these systems are operated and contributing to indoor pollution. We propose a method for identifying and quantifying the emanation of viable bioaerosol from an ACMV system and its impact on indoor ...

Exploring temporal patterns of bacterial and fungal DNA accumulation on a ventilation system filter for a Singapore university library. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 INTRODUCTION:Ventilation system filters process recirculated indoor air along with outdoor air. This function inspires the idea of using the filter as an indoor bioaerosol sampler. While promising, there remains a need to investigate several factors that
