Bioaerosol Sampling Techniques
Bioaerosol sampling techniques are methods used to collect and analyze airborne biological particles, like bacteria, viruses, or mold spores. These techniques include devices such as impactors, which trap particles on a surface; impingers, which bubble air through a liquid to capture contaminants; and filters that trap particles as air passes through. The collected samples are then examined in laboratories to identify and measure microorganisms. These methods help assess air quality and potential health risks in various environments, including hospitals, laboratories, and outdoor settings.
