Descripción
In addition to gases and inorganic particles, the air carries many biological particles such as pollen, fungi, bacteria and viruses. Some can trigger allergy symptoms in the population and be also the cause of airborne disease transmission like the flu, pneumonia and legionellosis. Crops and farm productivity are also affected by these airborne organisms, causing an important economic impact. The monitoring and detection of all this biological diversity in the air outdoor is a difficult task because of their particular characteristics regarding size, relative abundance, residence time in the atmosphere? Hence, the different biological particles are usually studied independently. To solve these troubles, we have developed an equipment attachable to any kind of vehicle to collect all the biological particles present in the air (sorting by size if desired), and keeping the sample intact for further biochemical detection (e.g. DNA sequencing) or identification by microscopy.
