ABSTRACT
Bioaerosols are organisms or biological agents that can be dispersed through the air and affect human health. Bioaerosols can contain living organisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, actinomycetes, arthropods, and protozoa, as well as microbial products such as endotoxins, microbial enzymes, β-1(→3)-glucans, and mycotoxins. Many of the bioaerosols are ubiquitous in the environment and may be affected by human activities (ACGIH, 1999). Bioaerosols are found in indoor and outdoor air environments. Organic matter, soil, plants, animals, and humans are the source of many bioaerosols.
