“…In some cases, new samplers have been developed specifically for use on drones, from simple impaction on Petri dishes, spore collectors (Jimenez-Sanchez et al 2018;Powers et al 2018;Lin et al 2013;Schmale Iii, Dingus, and Reinholtz 2008;Schmale et al 2012;Aylor et al 2011;Gonzalez et al 2011), and filters (Crazzolara et al 2019;Lateran et al 2016;Smith et al 2015), to more complex and specialized methods paired with immunoassays (Anderson et al 1999;Ligler et al 1998), surface plasmon resonance (Palframan et al 2014), and cryopumps (Harris et al 2002). Simultaneous recovery of bioaerosols from different altitudes has been attempted with drones (Powers et al 2018;Lateran et al 2016;Techy, Schmale, and Woolsey 2010;Yang et al 2008). While physical collectors can only integrate bioaerosols information over a given sampling time, optical methods would be able to give real-time information on airborne bioaerosols (Huffman et al 2019).…”

Outdoor field measurements of bioaerosols are performed within a wide range of basic and applied scientific disciplines, each with its own goals, assumptions, and terminology. This article contains brief reviews of outdoor field bioaerosol research from these diverse interests, with emphasis on perspectives from the atmospheric sciences. The focus is on a high-level discussion of pressing scientific questions, grand challenges, and needs for cross-disciplinary collaboration. The research topics, in which bioaerosol field measurement is important, include (i) atmospheric physics, clouds, climate, and hydrological cycle; (ii) atmospheric chemistry; (iii) airborne allergencontaining particles; (iv) airborne human pathogens and national security; (v) airborne livestock and crop pathogens; and (vi) biogeography and biodiversity. We concisely review bioaerosol impacts and discuss properties that distinguish bioaerosols from abiological aerosols. We give extra focus to regions of specific interest, i.e., forests, polar regions, marine and coastal environments, deserts, urban and rural areas, and summarize key considerations related to bioaerosol measurements, such as of fluxes, of long-range transport, and of sampling from both stationary and vessel-driven platforms. Keeping in mind a series of key scientific questions posed within the diverse communities, we suggest that pressing scientific questions include the following: (i) emission sources and flux estimates; (ii) spatial distribution; (iii) changes in distribution; (iv) atmospheric aging; (v) metabolic activity; (vi) urbanization of allergies; (vii) transport of human pathogens; and (viii) climate-relevant properties.
