Aerobiology [Hardcover]

Aerobiology is the study of airborne particles that have an impact on humans and other organisms. Every day, we are exposed to airborne particles, including natural particles such as pollen, bacteria, and fungi, and unnatural particles, such as asbestos fibers and noxious chemicals. Aerobiology highlights the current interests in this field, primarily the ecology and distribution of airborne particles and their effects on health.Introduction, M. Muilenberg and H. Burge
