Khalid Generic aspects of the airborne spread of human pathogens indoors and emerging air decontamination technologies 2016-09-02 .txt text/plain 5742 295 37 The following groups of human pathogens are covered because of their known or potential airborne spread: vegetative bacteria (staphylococci and legionellae), fungi (Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Cladosporium spp and Stachybotrys chartarum), enteric viruses (noroand rotaviruses), respiratory viruses (influenza and coronaviruses), mycobacteria (tuberculous and nontuberculous), and bacterial spore formers (Clostridium difficile and Bacillus anthracis). The following groups of human pathogens are covered because of their known or potential airborne spread: vegetative bacteria (staphylococci and legionellae), fungi (Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Cladosporium spp and Stachybotrys chartarum), enteric viruses (noro-and rotaviruses), respiratory viruses (influenza and coronaviruses), mycobacteria (tuberculous and nontuberculous), and bacterial spore formers (Clostridium difficile and Bacillus anthracis). 71 Based on our considerable experience in the study of airborne human pathogens, 13, 25, 39, 43, 72 we have built an aerobiology chamber (Fig 2) designed to meet the requirements of the EPA guidelines and have used this to study the effects that a variety of air decontamination technologies have on the airborne survival and inactivation of vegetative bacteria, viruses (bacteriophage), and bacterial spore-formers (Sattar et al, unpublished data) . ./cache/cord-295469-5an7836u.txt ./txt/cord-295469-5an7836u.txt
