Inffuenza (or “ffu”) leads to the hospitalization of more than 200,000 people yearly and
results in 36,000 deaths from ffu or ffu-related complications in the United States (15) …

Bioaerosols significantly affect atmospheric processes while they undergo long-range
vertical and horizontal transport and influence atmospheric chemistry and physics and …

Aims: The aerosolization and collection of submicrometre and ultrafine virus particles were
studied with the objective of developing robust and accurate methodologies to study …

The quantity, identity, and distribution of biomass in indoor and outdoor aerosols are poorly
described. This is not consistent with the current understanding of atmospheric chemistry or …

Poor air hygiene as a result of bioaerosol contamination has caused diverse forms of
adverse health effects and diseases. In addition, global biosecurity is threatened by …

The purpose of this study was to determine the physical collection efficiency of commercially
available filters for collecting airborne bacteria, viruses, and other particles in the 10–900 nm …

As a first step in conducting studies of airborne influenza transmission, we compared the
collection performance of an SKC Biosampler, a compact cascade impactor (CCI), Teflon …

Aims State‐of‐the‐art bioaerosol samplers have poor collection efficiencies for ultrafine
virus aerosols. This work evaluated the performance of a novel growth tube collector (GTC) …
