Bioaerosols: A Survey

Abstract

Biological warfare agent aerosols must be detected against a background of native bioaerosols. The latter are described together with their sources, factors affecting their abundance and their sampling and characterisation. Australian bioaerosol studies to date are described and bioaerosol monitoring work needed to address deficiencies in the data on the bioaerosol content of air at Australian locations identified.
