Indoor Airborne Bio Aerosols in Valiasr Hospital in Zanjan, Iran
Background: Bio aerosols include airborne micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc and their products. Exposure to a bio aerosol is linked with a broad spectrum of health problems, including infectious diseases, acute toxic effects, allergies, and cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality and quantity of bio aerosols found in the air of different wards in Valiasr Ho...
متن کاملContribution of fungi to primary biogenic aerosols in the atmosphere: wet and dry discharged spores, carbohydrates, and inorganic ions
Biogenic aerosols play important roles in atmospheric chemistry physics, the biosphere, climate, and public health. Here, we show that fungi which actively discharge their spores with liquids into the air, in particular actively wet spore discharging Ascomycota (AAM) and actively wet spore discharging Basidiomycota (ABM), are a major source of primary biogenic aerosol particles and components. ...

متن کاملAerosol and precipitation chemistry in a remote site in Central Amazonia: the role of biogenic contribution
A long-term (2–3 years) measurement of aerosol and precipitation chemistry was carried out in a remote site in Central Amazonia, Balbina, (1 • 55 ′ S, 59 • 29 ′ W, 174 m above sea level), about 200 km north of Manaus city. Aerosols were sampled using stacked filter units (SFU), which separate fine (d<2.5 µm) and coarse mode 5 (2.5 µm<d<10.0 µm). Filters were analyzed for particulate mass (PM), ...
متن کاملSeasonal distributions and sources of lowmolecular weight dicarboxylic acids, v-oxocarboxylic acids, pyruvic acid, a-dicarbonyls and fatty acids in ambient aerosols from subtropical Okinawa in the western Pacific Rim
Ambient aerosol samples were collected for 1 year at Okinawa Island, Japan, and were analysed for watersoluble dicarboxylic acids, oxoacids, a-dicarbonyls and fatty acids to better understand biogenic v. anthropogenic sources and the formation–transformation of organic aerosols during long-range atmospheric transport. Here, we report seasonal variations of diacids and related compounds in Okina...
