An Approach to the Study of Environmental Microbial Aerosols

摘要

Environmental microbial aerosols are formed by processes such as wastewater treatment. The significance of these aerosols to human populations is dependent upon the concentration and type of microorganisms contained therein and upon the probability of susceptible population exposure to the infectious organisms. The purpose of this presentation is to outline factors that require consideration in an approach to the study of the microbial aerosols in the ambient environment.
