Abstract
Bioaerosols are the biological constituent of PM (particulate matter). Bioaerosols are produced during many activities in landfills, agricultural sectors, food preservation, and many others in daily life Bioaerosols can be generated from biomass burning activity, resulting in bioaerosols with a diameter <2.5 m (fine bioaerosols) Bioaerosols commonly have many forms like fungal spores, pollen, bacteria, and even viruses. As confirmed before, bioaerosols consist of Aspergillus, Alternaria, and Cladosporium species Another previous study investigated bioaerosols from bacteria species in landfill areas, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus gordonii, Alloiococcus otitis, Kocuria rosea, Pediococcus pentosaceus, and many others
