Air Microbiology

Although there may be a variety of microorganisms in the air, their number is affected because the air does not contain adequate source of nutrients. The room-air is generally contaminated by sneezing, coughing and talking. The airborne microorganisms give rise to serious problems in scientific experiments via contaminating the equipments, materials etc.

They spoil our food and food-products, and they, most significantly, are responsible for many diseases in plants and animals including humans. Therefore air, particularly room-air, must be sanitized by mechanical and chemical treatments to destroy harmful microorganisms.
