Source: Sources of airborne microorganisms in the built environment | Microbiome | Full Text

Really nice new review paper by Aaron Prissin and Linsey Marr.

It covers research on sources of airborne microbes including

  • Humans
  • Pets
  • Plants
  • Plumbing
  • HVACs
  • Water damage
  • Dust
  • Outdoor air

Really thorough with tons of references and discussion of the strength of the information about possible sources. A true must read.

    1. I saw this entry on Twitter when you first posted it. Thanks! As a follow-up, the German magazine Focus asked permission to use the cartoon above in an article about the microbiome.
