Bioaerosols are a vehicle for the dissemination of human and animal pathogens. Because of land-filling costs and the ban on ocean dumping of municipal biosolids, land application of biosolids and animal manure is increasing all over the globe. There is no doubt that the creation, generation, and disposal of human and animal wastes increases the aerosolization potential of a wide variety of microbial pathogens and related pollutants. In an attempt to address public health issues associated with the land application of municipal biosolids, the U.S. National Research Council (Washington, D.C.) published a report on this issue in 2002. This paper focuses on the current information and technology gaps related to estimating the public health risks associated with bioaerosols during the land application of biosolids.
生物气溶胶是人类和动物病原体传播的一种媒介。由于填埋成本以及禁止向海洋倾倒城市生物固体废弃物，在全球范围内，将生物固体废弃物和动物粪便用于土地的情况正在增加。毫无疑问，人类和动物废弃物的产生、生成及处置增加了多种微生物病原体及相关污染物的气溶胶化潜力。为解决与城市生物固体废弃物土地施用相关的公共卫生问题，美国国家研究委员会（华盛顿特区）于2002年发布了一份关于此问题的报告。本文聚焦于在生物固体废弃物土地施用过程中，与评估生物气溶胶相关公共卫生风险有关的当前信息和技术差距。
