These air contaminants are developing concerns to people and the environment and must be addressed to avert future dangers. As little is known about their precise sources, controlling variables, microbial diversity, the involvement of co-pollutants, and dispersion and control methods, this book will assist stakeholders, including the public, government officials, and policymakers in developing successful strategies for ensuring society's safety.
- Identifies potential emission stages at different anthropogenic sources of bioaerosols
- Discusses characteristics, fate and development of effective control strategies for minimizing exposure to site specific bioaerosols
- Presents cleaner production and sustainable development tactics of bioaerosols
Students, researchers, and scientists working with a vision of sustainability, public health, and air pollution mitigation measures, Policy makers for climate finance and climate change, engineers and scientists in manufacturing and process industries, stakeholders of non-governmental organization and social development sectors, occupational exposure experts, health professionals, and epidemiologists
