Journal ArticleDOI
Review of bioaerosols in indoor environment with special reference to sampling, analysis and control mechanisms
TL;DR: Various literatures revealing the concentration levels of bioaerosol have been mentioned in this review thereby contributing to the knowledge of identification and quantification ofBioaerosols and their different constituents in various indoor environments (both occupational and non-occupational sections).
Journal ArticleDOI
Fungal pollution of indoor environments and its management.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the current status on biotic indoor air pollution, role of fungi as biological contaminants and their impact on human health in indoor environments, including allergy, infections and toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Airborne Microorganisms From Livestock Production Systems and Their Relation to Dust
TL;DR: The authors present the current knowledge of the entire process of airborne transmission of microorganisms—from suspension and transportation until deposition and infection—and their relation to dust.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wind-Mediated Spread of Low-Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus into the Environment during Outbreaks at Commercial Poultry Farms
TL;DR: The data suggest that areas at high risk for human or animal exposure to airborne influenza viruses can be modeled during an outbreak to allow directed interventions following targeted surveillance.

Detection of Coxiella burnetii DNA on Small-Ruminant Farms during a Q Fever Outbreak in the Netherlands
A. de Bruin,R. Q. J. van der Plaats,L. de Heer,R. Paauwe,B. Schimmer,Piet Vellema,B.J. van Rotterdam,Y. T. H. P. Van Duynhoven +7 more
TL;DR: The relatively high levels of C. burnetii DNA in surface area swabs and aerosols sampled in stables of bulk milk-positive farms, including farms with a Q fever-related abortion history, support the hypothesis that these farms can pose a risk for the transmission of Cburnetii to humans.
