Abstract:Background The commercialization of space travel will soon lead to many more people living and working in unique built environments similar to the International Space Station, which is a specialized closed environment that contains its own indoor microbiome.

This growth can drive negative health outcomes and degrade building materials. We need a predicti… Show more
