A review on recent progress in observations, and health effects of bioaerosols

Global implications of bio-aerosol in pandemic

“…Pathogenic microbes are also known to be transmitted through expulsion and settling of bio-aerosols (Kim et al 2017). Ailments caused due to the propagation of such pathogens and their toxic constituents in the environment results in several diseases ranging from allergic asthma, cancer, localized and systemic organ failures (Humbal et al 2018). It is well-established fact that the respiratory bio-aerosol expulsions of an infected person cause an exponential increase in the spread of respiratory tract viruses like COVID-19, SARS, MERS and HINI Influenza and are a major cause of the global pandemic.…”

The Influence of COVID-19 on Air Quality in India: A Boon or Inutile

“…So, as per the air quality index is concerned, the current enhancement 5 in 20165 in , 20175 in , 20185 in , 20195 in and 20205 in (NASA 2020 in air quality of India, would avert significant premature deaths due to air pollution on a monthly/annually basis. Recent results over the last few years have reported results from global to molecular scales an increased understanding of bio aerosol and its health effects (Humbal et al 2020;Humbal et al 2018). However, further research is required to understand the open questions based on interdisciplinary and complex nature of aerosol with respect the relationship with human health (Kagaya et al 2020;Muhammad et al 2020).…”

Development of an Analytical Method for the Metaproteomic Investigation of Bioaerosol from Work Environments

“…The most common symptoms of allergens are usually runny nose, stuffy nose, scratchy throat, itchy eyes, and sneezing. Many Bacillus species transmitted as bioaerosol are known to be potent allergens causing respiratory tract discomfort . In our samples, different proteins coming from different Bacillus , such as B. subtilis , Lactobacillus casei , Lactobacillus helveticus were identified (Tables S3–S5, Supporting Information).…”

“…Many Bacillus species transmitted as bioaerosol are known to be potent allergens causing respiratory tract discomfort. [28,29] In our samples, different proteins coming from different Bacillus, such as B. subtilis, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus helveticus were identified (Tables S3-S5, Supporting Information). Along with allergens, some pathogen microorganisms were identified in our samples, such as Staphylococcus, which commonly resides on the skin, nasal passage, and axillae causing various diseases due to its enterotoxins and antigens, and B. subtilis, which can form endospores to ensure longer survival in the environment.…”
