The usual profile of indoor microbial aerosols probably has little meaning to healthy people. However, hazardous microbial aerosols can penetrate buildings or be generated within them; in either case, they can have significant adverse effects on human health. These aerosols can be controlled to some extent by eliminating or reducing their sources. In this regard, careful consideration should be given in building construction to the design of ventilation and air-conditioning systems and to the flooring material, so that these systems and the flooring material will not act as microbial reservoirs. It is evident that in spite of the considerable body of data available on indoor microbial aerosols, little is known of their true significance to human health except in terms of overt epidemic disease. Continued research is needed in this area, particularly in respect to situations of high risk in such locations as hospitals and schools for young children.
室内微生物气溶胶的一般情况可能对健康人意义不大。然而，有害微生物气溶胶可穿透建筑物或在建筑物内产生；无论哪种情况，它们都可能对人类健康产生重大不利影响。通过消除或减少其来源，这些气溶胶可在一定程度上得到控制。在这方面，建筑施工中应仔细考虑通风和空调系统的设计以及地板材料，以使这些系统和地板材料不会成为微生物储存库。显然，尽管有大量关于室内微生物气溶胶的数据，但除了明显的流行病外，人们对它们对人类健康的真正意义知之甚少。这一领域需要持续研究，特别是针对医院和幼儿学校等高风险场所的情况。
