Abstract

Pathogens can be collected from air and detected in samples by many methods. However, merely detecting pathogens does not answer whether they can spread disease. To fully assess health risks from e...

利用虚拟冲击器和紧凑型水基冷凝空气采样器浓缩空气中可存活的病原体

病原体可以从空气中收集，并通过多种方法从样本中检测出来。然而，仅仅检测病原体并不能回答病原体是否会传播疾病。要全面评估空气中的病原体对健康造成的危害，就必须对空气中的病原体进行检测。

期刊介绍： Aerosol Science and Technology publishes theoretical, numerical and experimental investigations papers that advance knowledge of aerosols and facilitate its application. Articles on either basic or applied work are suitable. Examples of topics include instrumentation for the measurement of aerosol physical, optical, chemical and biological properties; aerosol dynamics and transport phenomena; numerical modeling; charging; nucleation; nanoparticles and nanotechnology; lung deposition and health effects; filtration; and aerosol generation. Consistent with the criteria given above, papers that deal with the atmosphere, climate change, indoor and workplace environments, homeland security, pharmaceutical aerosols, combustion sources, aerosol synthesis reactors, and contamination control in semiconductor manufacturing will be considered. AST normally does not consider papers that describe routine measurements or models for aerosol air quality assessment.
