Deposition, Adhesion, and Release of Bioaerosols

  • Chapter
Atmospheric Microbial Aerosols

Abstract

Bioaerosols typically consist of a range of particle sizes and shapes. Further, each particle, even if it is a single, “simple” bacterium, may have a complex surface morphology. The degree of hydration as well as the size of the particle or cluster often changes with time after the aerosol is generated. This can lead to significant changes in its mechanical, elastic, or surface properties. For such reasons, it is not possible to provide a detailed picture of all types of bioaerosol-surface interactions. To approximate the situation, it is necessary to introduce several simplifying assumptions, which are guided by knowledge of less complex aerosol systems.
