Bioaerosol emissions from activated sludge basins: Characterization, release, and attenuation	2020-08-20		.txt	text/plain	2974	197	47	Previous studies have used culture-dependent and cultureindependent methods to identify the microorganisms present in bioaerosols emitted from aeration basins (Table 1 ). Activated sludge microorganisms grow within flocculent aggregates, consisting of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), inert particles, water, and numerous ionized chemicals (Metcalf and Eddy, 2003 The bubble then bursts when the membrane can no longer maintain the internal pressure of the bubble ( Figure 1A) . Splashing and bubble bursting occur with other methods of mechanical surface aeration (e.g. subsurface turbines, fountains, horizontal paddles), but peer-reviewed studies have not yet revealed the bioaerosol release mechanisms for these processes. Bioaerosol emissions from activated sludge basins are dependent upon the aeration method, which in turn influences mixing.
