Abstract

People spend the majority of their time indoors. Indoor airborne microorganisms, comprised of airborne particles containing fungi, bacteria, and virus present a significant concern in household environment due to their potential implications for indoor air quality and human health. This review synthesizes recent advancements in the fields of indoor air quality science, microbiology, and environmental engineering, providing insights into the sources, concentrations, transmission, influencing factors and control technology of indoor airborne microorganisms in residential environments. Factors such as occupant activities, pets, indoor temperature, humidity, and ventilation systems are critical in shaping the patterns and quantities of these microorganisms.

期刊介绍： The word ‘particuology’ was coined to parallel the discipline for the science and technology of particles. Particuology is an interdisciplinary journal that publishes frontier research articles and critical reviews on the discovery, formulation and engineering of particulate materials, processes and systems. It especially welcomes contributions utilising advanced theoretical, modelling and measurement methods to enable the discovery and creation of new particulate materials, and the manufacturing of functional particulate-based products, such as sensors. Papers are handled by Thematic Editors who oversee contributions from specific subject fields. These fields are classified into: Particle Synthesis and Modification; Particle Characterization and Measurement; Granular Systems and Bulk Solids Technology; Fluidization and Particle-Fluid Systems; Aerosols; and Applications of Particle Technology. Key topics concerning the creation and processing of particulates include: -Modelling and simulation of particle formation, collective behaviour of particles and systems for particle production over a broad spectrum of length scales -Mining of experimental data for particle synthesis and surface properties to facilitate the creation of new materials and processes -Particle design and preparation including controlled response and sensing functionalities in formation, delivery systems and biological systems, etc. -Experimental and computational methods for visualization and analysis of particulate system. These topics are broadly relevant to the production of materials, pharmaceuticals and food, and to the conversion of energy resources to fuels and protection of the environment.
