Bioaerosol Sampling
Bioaerosols are airborne particles of biological origin (e.g. bacteria, fungi, pollen, viruses) and their by-products such as endotoxins or mycotoxins and other fragments. Many of the same techniques that are used for non-biological aerosols can be used for bioaerosols. However, to properly evaluate bioaerosol samples, collection procedures must ensure the survival or biological activity of bioaerosol particles during and after collection.
