4. Characteristics of airborne microflora
All the techniques described above have enabled us to acquire a certain amount of knowledge about airborne microflora, linked to its multiple sources, diversity and dispersion. In a confined space, airborne micro-organisms come from two reservoirs: one exogenous, most often corresponding to an outdoor/indoor air transfer, and the other endogenous, resulting from a specific biocontamination with multiple sources. Identifying sources is an essential step in the study of microbial aerosols, especially when it comes to assessing human exposure.
4.1 Emission sources
Microorganisms in the environment are subject to natural movements (rain, wind, agitation of lakes, rivers and oceans...) and anthropogenic factors (agricultural practices, waste treatment (household or...
