Given the close relationship between aerobiology and other sciences, one of the main aims is that information on airborne biological-particle counts should be of use in a wide range of disciplines and fields of application, including Biodiversity, Agricultural Engineering, Forestry, Phytopathology, Meteorology, Climatology, Forensic Science, Bioterrorism, and Pollinosis. Since the presence of biological particles in the atmosphere is closely related to the incidence of adverse reactions damaging to human health, it is essential to obtain data which may further the adoption of preventive measures. For that reason, sampling mechanisms have been designed to function in much the same way as the respiratory system, with a view to obtaining applicable data. |
