description

Abstract The relevance of biological aerosol will be demonstrated. A method to determine the sizedistribution of the biological aerosols is shown, which gives the opportunity to determine a lower limit of the biological particles. For evaluation a light microscope and a scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer are used.
