Abstract

Bioaerosols in the form of microscopic airborne particles pose pervasive risks to humans and livestock. As either fully active components (e.g., viruses, bacteria, and fungi) or as whole or part of inactive fragments, they are among the least investigated pollutants in nature. Their identification and quantification are essential to addressing related dangers and to establishing proper exposure thresholds. However, difficulties in the development (and selection) of detection techniques and an associated lack of standardized procedures make the sensing of bioaerosols challenging. Through a comprehensive literature search, this review examines the mechanisms of conventional and advanced bioaerosol detection methods. It also provides a roadmap for future research and development in the selection of suitable methodologies for bioaerosol detection. The development of…
