THE GERM CONTENT OF THE AIR AND ITS MEASUREMENT,
Abstract
The described germ counter makes it possible for the first time to determine the contamination of the air exactly and to keep it under constant surveillance. In particular, a possibility has been given to correlate a defined germ count with the concept of epidemiological crises as applied to the degree of resistance possessed by the effected living beings and the effectiveness of anti-epidemic measures. The germ counter may furnish valuable service not only with respect to hygienic and climatic studies in enclosed spaces but also in the open atmosphere, e.g. in the study of the filtering effect of wind breaks against plant parasites and for the determination of the dependence of bacterial dissemination on aerial and horizontal air movement.
