Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Aerosol Science
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Bioaerosol behavior, including takeoff, transport, and deposition, is primarily determined by particle size.
  • Effective collection and analysis of bioaerosols depend on particle characteristics like size, appearance, growth potential, and assayability.
  • Existing collection methods (impaction, impingement, filtration) recover smaller particles with varying efficiencies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To guide the selection of appropriate sampling devices for specific bioaerosol applications.
  • To highlight the necessity of multiple collection and analytical approaches for diverse bioaerosol types.
  • To emphasize the importance of planning and oversight for large-scale bioaerosol distribution studies.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing principles of particle behavior to inform the choice of sampling devices.
  • Employing collection methods (impaction, impingement, filtration) with defined efficiencies for particle recovery.
  • Developing a North American sampling grid for comprehensive distribution and transport studies.

Main Results:

  • The effective size of bioaerosols is the principal determinant of their behavior.
  • Collection methods allow recovery of increasingly small aerosol units with defined efficiencies.
  • New sampling grids enable unprecedented studies of bioaerosol distribution, transport, and climatic effects.

Conclusions:

  • Choosing sampling devices requires understanding bioaerosol size and behavior.
  • Future survey protocols should increasingly incorporate methods sensitive to paucimicronic and submicronic particles.
  • Studies of indoor/outdoor aerosols and personal exposure are facilitated by current methods, enhancing understanding of airborne prevalence.
