Résumé

Aeromicrobiology provides a detailed and systematic analysis of the microbial communities and toxins collectively called bioaerosols that can be found in air. It provides information on the basics of Aeromicrobiology, the fate and transport of microorganisms in air, and the fundamental differences between intramural and extramural Aeromicrobiology. Leaning heavily on the current state of science, detailed information on the sampling and analysis of bioaerosol samples is provided.
Subsequent chapters comprehensively discuss various airborne microbial groups and toxins, while the final chapter is dedicated to bioaerosol control strategies, biosafety, and biosecurity. There are limited resources on Aeromicrobiology. In rare instances where there are resources on Aeromicrobiology, they are often restricted to chapters in books or even supplementary materials. The emergence of new airborne pathogens, the aerosolization of microorganisms hitherto believed not to be airborne, and the proliferation of technologies for`sampling, analysis, and control of bioaerosols makes it imperative for this title, which streamlines and succinctly presents the new body of knowledge in the field.
Key Features : Leans heavily on current state-of-the-art technologies used in sampling and analysis of bioaerosol samples such as metagenomics and sensor-based, hybrid technologies, among others. Dedicates considerable attention to airborne and droplet-borne viruses, against the background of SARS-CoV-2 and related pathogens. Comprehensively attends to regulatory aspects of bioaerosol control, highlighting various policies and regulations aimed at achieving biosecurity and curbing bioterrorism Helps researchers and Policy makers in various fields who are often confronted with the need for basic information delivered in seamless style without loss of essential content
