Abstract |
Biological aerosols--suspensions of microorganisms in the air--can cause diseases in humans, animals, and plants and degradation of inanimate materials. The present knowledge pertaining to the relationships between dose-effect, viability, survival of microorganisms in aerosols, and other factors is insufficient for establishing standards for either indoor or outdoor environmental air concentrations. The source of most human and animal airborne pathogens is the host organism that recently harbored the pathogens. However, since biological aerosols generally are detrimentally affected by exposure to the atmosphere, they are usually found in spaces close to the host. The abatement and control of biological aerosols have been successful only in environmentally-controlled indoor spaces. There has been no adequate way to estimate either the cost of the effects of biological aerosols, or the cost of abatement and control. (Author) |
