Aerosols of biological origin play a vital role in the Earth system, particularly in the
interactions between atmosphere, biosphere, climate, and public health. Airborne bacteria …

Bioaerosols consist of aerosols originated biologically such as metabolites, toxins, or
fragments of microorganisms that are present ubiquitously in the environment. International …

Poor air quality is globally the largest environmental health risk. Epidemiological studies
have uncovered clear relationships of gaseous pollutants and particulate matter (PM) with …

Airborne microorganisms (AM), vital components of particulate matters (PM), are widespread
in the atmosphere. Since some AM have pathogenicity, they can lead to a wide range of …

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 …

Dispersal of microbes between humans and the built environment can occur through direct
contact with surfaces or through airborne release; the latter mechanism remains poorly …

Abstract Purpose of Review Fomites are inanimate objects that become colonized with
microbes and serve as potential intermediaries for transmission to/from humans. This review …

Buildings represent habitats for microorganisms that can have direct or indirect effects on the
quality of our living spaces, health, and well-being. Over the last ten years, new research …

In the constructed habitat in which we spend up to 90% of our time, architectural design
influences occupants' behavioral patterns, interactions with objects, surfaces, rituals, the …

Investigations into the suspected airborne transmission of pathogens in healthcare
environments have posed a challenge to researchers for more than a century. With each …
