![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Use of an electrospray for the generation of bacterial bioaerosols Use of an electrospray for the generation of bacterial bioaerosols](/preview/png/4453086.png)
A new idea of generating bacteria bioaerosols by utilizing an electrospray method was suggested and tested in this study. Liquid suspensions containing Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli bacteria were sprayed by means of a specially designed electrospray system in a cone-jet mode, and measurements were taken of the biological viability as well as the physical properties of the electrosprayed bioaerosols. The tested bacterial suspensions had around 107CFU/ml concentrations and the suspensions of electrosprayed particles sampled with a biosampler had concentrations that ranged from 105105 to 106CFU/ml.The experimental results show that the electrospray method can be used to generate viable bacteria bioaerosols with a highly electrically charged status.
