Fog-Induced Alteration in Airborne Microbial Community: a Study over Central Indo-Gangetic Plain in India
Shahina Raushan Saikh, Sanat Kumar Das
Abstract
(0.4% ± 0.2%), were detected only under foggy conditions. A strong correlation between meteorological parameters and bacterial loading was found in the current research work. The present study provides additional support toward a new direction in interdisciplinary science for the detailed investigations of the effects of meteorological conditions on airborne bacteria and their implications for society.
