“…These airborne bacterial and fungal cells can reach concentrations of 10 , respectively [7]. Table 1 lists different bacterial, yeast and mold genera detected as bioaerosol components found in food industries from noteworthy research since 2003.…”

“…Measurements include especially microbes in both indoor (e.g., industrial, office, or residential) and outdoor (e.g., agricultural and general air quality) environments [7]. It is necessary to evaluate their presence quantitatively (by a count or a determination) and/or qualitatively (by identifying the genus and species) [31].…”

“…It would therefore be inappropriate to "sample-to-see-what-is-in-the-air" since the presence of microbes in the air can be expected. The field is dominated by lack of consistent data and an abundance of speculation [7]. The lack of standard methods, environmental guidelines, and databases complicates the interpretation and comparison of results [92].…”

“…The lack of standard methods, environmental guidelines, and databases complicates the interpretation and comparison of results [92]. Also, since no single method can fully characterize all bioaerosols components [7], it is imperative to do a proper evaluation/investigation before choosing a sampling method or initiating a sampling protocol. The following questions summarize important aspects to address when planning a bioaerosol monitoring approach and can be used as guidelines.…”

“…The interest in bioaerosol exposure has increased over the last few decades, largely born from the direct association of bioaerosols with a wide range of adverse health effects. These effects can have major public health impacts which include contagious infectious diseases, acute toxic effects, allergies and cancer [7]. Furthermore, bioaerosols could potentially settle on surfaces and equipment and contribute to safety or spoilage risks where food is prepared, processed or packaged [8].…”

Bioaerosol monitoring is a rapidly emerging area of industrial hygiene. Microbial roles in atmospheric processes are thought to be species specific and potentially depend on cell viability. Accumulating evidence suggests that exposure to bioaerosols may cause adverse health effects, including disease. Studies of bioaerosols have primarily focused on chemical composition and biological composition, and the negative effects thereof on ecosystems and human health have largely gone unnoticed. This gap can be attributed to international standards on acceptable maximum bioaerosol loads not being uniform and the lack of uniform standardized methods for collection and analysis of bacterial and fungal bioaerosols. In this chapter, bioaerosol composition, relevance of bioaerosols to the food processing facility, sampling and detection approaches, and complications were discussed.
