Characterization of airborne bacteria at an underground subway station
Dybwad, Marius; Granum, Per Einar; Bruheim, Per; Blatny, Janet Martha (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The reliable detection of airborne biological threat agents depends on several factors, including the performance criteria of the detector and its operational environment. One step in improving the detector's performance ... -
Characterization of Airborne Microorganisms at Nationaltheatret Subway Station
Valen, Anja (Master thesis, 2011)Bioaerosols containing pathogenic microorganisms can have health implications when respired. Of special concern are potential bioterrorism attacks conducted by deliberate aerosolization of hazardous toxins or pathogenic ... -
Comparative testing and evaluation of nine different air samplers: End-to-end sampling efficiencies as specific performance measurements for bioaerosol applications
Dybwad, Marius; Skogan, Gunnar; Blatny, Janet Martha (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Accurate exposure assessments are needed to evaluate health hazards caused by airborne microorganisms and require air samplers that efficiently capture representative samples. This highlights the need for samplers with ... -
Temporal variability of the bioaerosol background at a subway station: Concentration level, size distribution, and diversity of airborne bacteria
Dybwad, Marius; Skogan, Gunnar; Blatny, Janet Martha (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Naturally occurring bioaerosol environments may present a challenge to biological detection-identification-monitoring (BIODIM) systems aiming at rapid and reliable warning of bioterrorism incidents. One way to improve the ...
