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 …

Microbial entities (such bacteria, fungi, archaea and viruses) within outdoor aerosols have
been scarcely studied compared with indoor aerosols and nonbiological components, and …

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 …

Numerous recent studies have highlighted that the types of bacteria present in the
atmosphere often show predictable patterns across space and time. These patterns can be …

Outdoor field measurements of bioaerosols are performed within a wide range of basic and
applied scientific disciplines, each with its own goals, assumptions, and terminology. This …

Bacteria are important components of bioaerosols with the potential to influence human
health and atmospheric dynamics. However, information on the concentrations and …

Airborne microorganisms in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere remain elusive
due to a lack of reliable sample collection systems. To address this problem, we designed …

The nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) caused by Mycobacterium
species has increased in prevalence all over the world. The distributions of NTM-PD are …

The atmosphere is an important route for transporting and disseminating microorganisms
over short and long distances. Understanding how microorganisms are distributed in the …

The integration of chemical and biological data in aerosol studies represents a new
challenge in atmospheric science. In this perspective it will be possible to gain a clearer and …
