Treatment of Fungal Bioaerosols by a High-Temperature, Short-Time Process in a Continuous-Flow System

Abstract

Airbone fungi, termed fungal bioaerosols, have received attention due to the association with public health problems and the effects on living organisms in nature. There are growing concerns that fungal bioaerosols are relevant to the occurrence of allergies, opportunistic diseases in hospital, and outbreaks of plant diseases. The search for ways of preventing and curing the harmful effects of fungal bioaerosols has created a high demand for the study and development of an efficient method of controlling bioaerosols. However, almost all morden microbiological studies and theories have focused on microorganisms in liquid and solid phases.
