| dc.description.abstract | Bioaerosols are complex mixtures of airborne particles of biological origin (BioPM), which vary in size (~0.05-100 μm) and composition (viruses, bacteria, fungi/mould, pollen, cell fragments, and endotoxins). Many bioaerosols are of inhalable size (< 100 μm), but those < 10 μm are respirable and can penetrate deep into the respiratory system, making them a primary health concern(6). In addition to causing infectious diseases (e.g. tuberculosis and COVID-19), bioaerosols are associated with non-infectious diseases, such as hypersensitivity, allergies, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, that cause significant mortality and morbidity(4,7). Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) also poses an emerging and uncertain threat to public health worldwide, yet, AMR in bioaerosols is generally ignored leaving a major blindspot in the OneHealth approach to fighting AMR. | |
