随着堆肥作为一种可持续的废物管理选择的增加，堆肥设施产生的生物空气污染（生物气溶胶）由于其潜在的健康影响而日益引起人们的关注。由于目前监测方法的局限性，估计社区对生物气溶胶的接触是有问题的。大气扩散模型可用于估计接触浓度，但由于缺乏适当的生物气溶胶数据作为模型的输入，以及堆肥设施排放源的复杂性，出现了几个问题。本文分析了目前生物气溶胶扩散模型的研究进展，探讨了存在的问题，并对该领域的未来前景提出了建议。一个关键的发现是，迫切需要为模型用户提供指导，以确保一致的生物气溶胶建模做法。
With the increase in composting as a sustainable waste management option, biological air pollution (bioaerosols) from composting facilities have become a cause of increasing concern due to their potential health impacts. Estimating community exposure to bioaerosols is problematic due to limitations in current monitoring methods. Atmospheric dispersion modelling can be used to estimate exposure concentrations, however several issues arise from the lack of appropriate bioaerosol data to use as inputs into models, and the complexity of the emission sources at composting facilities. This paper analyses current progress in using dispersion models for bioaerosols, examines the remaining problems and provides recommendations for future prospects in this area. A key finding is the urgent need for guidance for model users to ensure consistent bioaerosol modelling practices.
