Research progress on health risks of aerosol microorganisms

Journal Title: Shanghai Journal of Preventive Medicine - Year 2023, Vol 35, Issue 3

Abstract

Aerosol microorganisms are important constituents of aerosols. They participate in physical and chemical reactions in the air and are also closely related to disease transmission and human health. With the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, aerosol microorganisms have become a public health topic of great concern. Studying the composition and influencing factors of the air microbiome therefore has significant public health implications. Due to the limitations of traditional technologies for sampling and determination, the aerosol microbiome has not been fully understood. However, with the development and maturity of high-throughput sequencing technology, the aerosol microbiome has shown promising research prospects. This article reviews the composition, characteristics, detection methods and influencing factors of aerosol microorganisms, providing basic knowledge for further research on the air microbiome. In-depth research on microbial aerosols has significant implications on urban air quality control, national security and public health.
