Bioaerosol characterisation in the transport environment

Annual Aerosol Science Conference 2018

Poster

This study investigated the abundance and diversity of the airborne micro-organisms in the transport environment. Bacterial abundance was determined by qPCR and diversity by Illumina MiSeq sequencing of 16S rRNA gene. Examination of the aerosol microbiota encountered in public and transport micro-environments showed that that the choice of transport mode has a significant impact on the bioaerosol microbiome that passengers are exposed to.

The Aerosol Society recognises the importance of our diverse community and believe that to produce the best quality science we must encourage a proactive and inclusive approach to equality. This can be achieved by developing and retaining a diverse range of talented people to achieve their full potential free from discrimination. We acknowledge our role in engaging with the wider aerosol science community to develop a fair and friendly environment by promoting equality, diversity and inclusion for all, recognising that we come from varying backgrounds and experiences.
