Investigations of the size distribution of microorganisms and dust in livestock production systems may provide a useful overview of their quantitative importance, indicate the health risk for human and animals, and facilitate the establishment and evaluation of control techniques. Previous studies showed that the biological decay of airborne microorganisms was species-dependent and was determined by many external factors, such as humidity, oxygen concentration, temperature, ozone concentration, radiation (UV, γ -ray, X-ray), air ions, and air pollutants (CO, SO 2 , and NO x ; Benbough, 1971; Lighthart, 1973) . ./cache/cord-313971-czcs1y9w.txt ./txt/cord-313971-czcs1y9w.txt
