Keywords

The term microbiome refers to the collective genome of the microbial communities living in various environments/habitats, and recently, the understanding of microbiome have been significantly enhanced by metagenomic studies. The data at hand regarding marine and soil-related microbial communities is much more than that of the air, which is typically not colonized, and the number of publications sharp contrasts to those of air. Aerosols of biological origin (bioaerosols) are a subset of atmospheric particulate matter (PM), which are emitted directly from the biosphere into the atmosphere, and play a vital role in the system of theEarth, particularly in the interactions between atmosphere, biosphere, climate and public health. However, these particles could either be the direct cause of epidemics of infectious diseases or noninfectious diseases (e.g. hypersensitivity to aeroallergens). These bioparticles emitted by humans or re-suspended from surfaces in indoor environments are also challenging for infection control and safety. It is estimated that humans emit approximately 106 particles per hour into the surrounding air under seated conditions. The sources, abundance, composition and effects of bioaerosols and the atmospheric microbiome are not yet well characterized; however, there is a continually increasing number of published studies. In this review, current progresses and conducted studies on airborne metagenomics were described and the health effects of aerosols to global perspective were overviewed.
