Concentrations and size distributions of viable bioaerosols under various weather conditions in a typical semi-arid city of Northwest China
TL;DR: In this article, the concentrations and size distributions of airborne viable bacteria and fungi were characterized under different weather conditions (e.g., sunny, cloudy, rainy and hazy days).

Assessing hazardous risks of indoor airborne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the kitchen and its association with lung functions and urinary PAH metabolites in kitchen workers.
Amarnath Singh,Kesavachandran Chandrasekharan Nair,Ritul Kamal,Vipin Bihari,Manoj Kumar Gupta,Mohana Krishna Reddy Mudiam,G.N.V. Satyanarayana,Abhay Raj,Izharul Haq,Nishi Kumar Shukla,Altaf Khan,Anup Kumar Srivastava +11 more
TL;DR: The decline in lung functions after adjustment for confounders and detection of urinary PAH metabolites in kitchen workers can be associated with higher concentrations of PAHs, CO and TVOCs in kitchen indoor air.

Bioaerosol Health Effects and Exposure Assessment: Progress and Prospects
TL;DR: Important areas that require further research include: potential protective effects of microbial exposures on atopy and atopic diseases, inter-individual susceptibility for biological exposures, interactions of bioaerosols with non-biological agents and other potential health effects such as skin and neurological conditions and birth effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerial Dispersal of Pathogens on the Global and Continental Scales and Its Impact on Plant Disease
TL;DR: The strongly stochastic nature of long-distance dispersal causes founder effects in pathogen populations, such that the genotypes that cause epidemics in new territories or on cultivars with previously effective resistance genes may be atypical.
Journal ArticleDOI
Profiles of Airborne Fungi in Buildings and Outdoor Environments in the United States
TL;DR: This is the largest study of airborne indoor and outdoor fungal species and concentrations conducted with a standardized protocol to date and provides industrial hygienists, allergists, and other public health practitioners with comparative information on common culturable airborne fungi in the United States.
