每天，人们都暴露在数以百万计的生物气溶胶中，包括完整的微生物，它们既有有益的影响，也有有害的影响。了解建筑环境中空气微生物组的下一章是描述空气微生物的各种来源以及每种微生物的相对贡献。我们已经确定了建筑环境中空气传播细菌、病毒和真菌的八大类来源：人类；宠物;植物;管道系统;供暖、通风和空调系统；模具;灰尘再悬浮;还有户外环境。某些物种与某些来源有关，但来源表征和来源分配的全部潜力尚未实现。理想情况下，未来的研究将量化每个来源微生物的详细排放率，并确定每个来源对室内空气微生物组的相对贡献。然后，这些信息可用于探索特定来源与人类健康之间的基本关系，设计干预措施以改善建筑卫生和人类健康，甚至为法医调查提供证据。
Each day people are exposed to millions of bioaerosols, including whole microorganisms, which can have both beneficial and detrimental effects. The next chapter in understanding the airborne microbiome of the built environment is characterizing the various sources of airborne microorganisms and the relative contribution of each. We have identified the following eight major categories of sources of airborne bacteria, viruses, and fungi in the built environment: humans; pets; plants; plumbing systems; heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems; mold; dust resuspension; and the outdoor environment. Certain species are associated with certain sources, but the full potential of source characterization and source apportionment has not yet been realized. Ideally, future studies will quantify detailed emission rates of microorganisms from each source and will identify the relative contribution of each source to the indoor air microbiome. This information could then be used to probe fundamental relationships between specific sources and human health, to design interventions to improve building health and human health, or even to provide evidence for forensic investigations.
