Abstract

Bioaerosols, including airborne bacteria, are significant pollutants affecting both indoor and outdoor air quality, with implications for human health. Despite extensive research on indoor air quality, there is a notable lack of comprehensive data on ambient bacterial concentrations and their interactions with pollutants and meteorological factors. This review focuses on bacterial aerosols in the atmosphere, measured using the culture-based method, considered the “gold standard” for microorganism detection and identification. Studies reveal significant variability in bacterial concentrations across different environments and seasons, influenced by factors such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, solar radiation, and precipitation, underscoring the need for further research and monitoring to enhance health risk assessments and mitigation strategies. The presence of air pollutants such as particulate matter (PM) and ozone (O3) further complicates these dynamics. The authors emphasize the need for more extensive research on outdoor bacterial aerosols and recommend that future studies prioritize detailed bioaerosol characterization to establish comprehensive exposure standards in ambient air, thereby improving public health protection and environmental management practices.

环境空气中的细菌气溶胶--回顾研究
生物气溶胶(包括空气中的细菌)是影响室内和室外空气质量的重要污染物,对人类健康具有重要影响。尽管对室内空气质量进行了广泛的研究,但有关环境细菌浓度及其与污染物和气象因素相互作用的综合数据却明显不足。本综述侧重于大气中的细菌气溶胶,采用培养法进行测量,该方法被认为是微生物检测和鉴定的 "黄金标准"。研究表明,细菌浓度在不同环境和季节会有很大的差异,这受到温度、湿度、风速、太阳辐射和降水等因素的影响,因此需要进一步研究和监测,以加强健康风险评估和缓解策略。微粒物质(PM)和臭氧(O3)等空气污染物的存在使这些动态变化更加复杂。作者强调有必要对室外细菌气溶胶进行更广泛的研究,并建议未来的研究优先考虑详细的生物气溶胶特征描述,以建立环境空气中的综合暴露标准,从而改善公共健康保护和环境管理实践。
