Abstract

Historically, a primary aim of bioaerosol research has been to understand and prevent ‘unhealthy’ human exposures to pathogens and allergens. However, there has been a recent paradigm shift in thinking about bioaerosols. Exposure to a diverse aerobiome – the microbiome of the air – is now considered necessary to be healthy.
