Bioaerosols in Indoor Environment - A Review with Special Reference to Residential and Occupational Locations
Jyotshna Mandal,Helmut Brandl +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a literature study has been performed regarding the levels of these microorganisms in various indoor occupational (e.g., schools, offices, hospitals, museums) and dwelling environments and the results will provide a significant scientific basis for indoor air quality control and help in elaborating risk prevention programs for workers and dwellers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Collection, particle sizing and detection of airborne viruses.
TL;DR: To improve the understanding of the mechanisms of airborne transmission of viruses, air sampling technologies that can detect the presence of aerosolized viruses, effectively collect them and maintain their viability, and determine their distribution in aerosol particles are needed.

TL;DR: BCL3 and Sheehy cite Bergey's manual of determinative bacteriology of which systematic bacteriology, first edition, is an expansion.
UseofNuclepore Filters forCounting Bacteria by Fluorescence Microscopy
TL;DR: Polycarbonate Nuclepore filters are better than cellulose filters for the direct counting of bacteria because they have uniform pore size and a flat surface that retains all of the bacteria on top of the filter.
