A Controlled Study on the Characterisation of Bioaerosols Emissions from Compost

Abstract: Bioaerosol emissions arising from biowaste treatment are an issue of public concern. To better characterise the bioaerosols, and to assess a range of measurement methods, we aerosolised green waste compost under controlled conditions. Viable and non-viable Andersen samplers, cyclone samplers and a real time bioaerosol detection system (Spectral Intensity Bioaerosol Sensor (SIBS)) were deployed simultaneously. The number-weighted fraction of fluorescent particles was in the range 22-26% of all particles for low… Show more

“…Moreover, a high concentration of E. coli and Enterococcus spp. in mixed waste suggests that the bioaerosol produced from heterogeneous sources including OFMSW, implicated a higher presence of enteric microorganisms [43,44]. The registered concentrations were consistent with the literature [43].…”

“…The Spectral Intensity Bioaerosol Spectrometer (SIBS, DMT) is a commercial LIF instrument built on the optical block of the WIBS, modified to disperse emission spectra into 16 channels (300-720 nm) following excitation pulses from filtered xenon flashlamps centered at 285 and 370 nm (K€ onemann et al 2019). The instrument has been described in detail, characterized in the laboratory (K€ onemann et al 2019), and recently applied to ambient aerosol (K€ onemann et al 2018a;Nasir et al 2018). The SIBS provides significantly increased spectral resolution relative to WIBS units and may be able to discriminate between aerosol types with higher certainty once appropriate data analysis techniques (e.g., clustering or machine learning) are applied.…”

“…The PLAIR Rapid-E, as based upon the principles described by Kiselev et al (2011Kiselev et al ( , 2013 [16,17], features fluorescence detection over 32-wavelength bins following single channel excitation, in addition to a larger particle detection range of 1-100 µm. Other examples include the Spectral Intensity Bioaerosol Sensor (SIBS), which features dual wavelength excitation (285 nm and 370 nm) and 16-channel fluorescence detection (302-721 nm) [18][19][20].…”
