Effects of aeration on microbes and intestinal bacteria in bioaerosols from the BRT of an indoor wastewater treatment facility

The generation and emission of airborne bacteria from a biochemical reaction tank (BRT) for wastewater treatment was investigated by altering the aeration rate. The levels of bioaerosols increased from 715 ± 69 to 1597 ± 135 CFU/m3 (total airborne bacteria) and from 78 ± 6 to 359 ± 18 CFU/m3 (intest...
