Editorial Reviews

In this collection of case studies, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health examines bioaerosols in industrial operations, indoor air quality, health care, social service, and public safety work. The studies investigate the source of bioaerosol generation, as well as their size distribution, concentrations, degree of toxicity, and collection methodology. Sampling focuses primarily on the recovery of viable microorganisms using methods of impaction and impingement. Questionnaires were used to evaluate symptoms, as were pulmonary function tests, x-rays, fluorescent antibody, monoclonal antibody, gene probe, and polymerase chain.
