Figures & data
Figure 1. Motivating topics of outdoor bioaerosol field measurements (circles) from the perspective of different research communities, with bulleted examples of application. These are embedded into the context of current scientific and social grand challenges, i.e., climate change, land use change, and public health, and categorized by the primary community drivers. Community drivers are listed separately to highlight differences in communities, although there is also substantial overlap. The drivers primarily imply differences in scientific motivation (e.g., basic vs. applied questions), funding source (e.g., research agencies, governmental, industrial), and result dissemination strategy (e.g., peer-reviewed publications, reports, proprietary information). Dual-directional arrows visually represent overlap and interaction between grand challenges and between fields of bioaerosol research. All topics are influenced in some measure by each of the three grand challenges listed. Similarly, each of the topic circles can have some influence from each of the community drivers (color), but in each case, the weight of influence is different. Central image shows a mixture of bioaerosols analyzed via optical microscopy.
