Season and city shape urban bioaerosol composition beyond vegetation and socioeconomic gradients Urban vegetation varies with socio-economic gradients, as lower-income neighborhoods often host sparser and less diverse green spaces. This disparity …

Our paper explores how urban vegetation, seasonality, and socio-economic context shape the urban bioaerosols across three Canadian cities.

Study on the air gap effect when closing toilet lid on droplet and pathogen escaping from flushing Closing the toilet lid before flushing is widely recommended to minimize the dispersal of pathogen-laden aerosols. However, an often-overlooked issue is that aerosols can still escape through the air ...

Closing the toilet lid helps—but widening gaps let more bioaerosols escape 🚽💨 Viruses escaped up to 57% at a 6‑mm gap, far more than bacteria. Gap height matters for sanitation and safety.

Comparative Analysis of Fungal Spore Flora Among Birds, Insects and Air in a Temperate Japanese Forest Fungi play critical roles in ecosystem functioning, yet the mechanisms underlying their spore dispersal, especially via animal vectors, remain underexplored. We investigated the potential of birds and insects as fungal spore vectors in Japanese ...

How do you control #bioaerosols in #indoor spaces?

Prioritize source control!

(ex: control moisture) and supplement with air filtration.

Evidence for Wildland Fire Smoke Transport of Microbes From Terrestrial Sources to the Atmosphere and Back Most bacterial taxa in wildland fire smoke can be traced to local surface vegetation and soil communities The bacterial assemblage in ambient air was mostly derived from unknown sources Local te...

These results support a growing understanding of wildfire 🔥 as a microbial pump & smoke as an environmental reservoir & mechanism for dispersal.

For one year, we measured bioaerosols *in situ* within clouds in the Arctic & studied their sources & potential link to mixed-phase clouds. And yes, we could directly identify them using microscopy! Check out our new paper 👉 acp.copernicus.org/articles/24/... #arctic #bioaerosols #clouds #aerosols
