摘要：

The concentration and size distribution of culturable bacteria and fungi were studied in Xi'an city at various air quality levels. The culturable bioaerosols were collected by an Andersen bioaerosol aerosol sampler between Sept. 2014 and Jan. 2015. Principal component analysis and multiple linear regressions were applied to link the concentrations with meteorological conditions including ambient temperature and relative humidity, as well as the levels of air pollutants such as PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2, and O3. These measured results showed that the concentration of culturable bacteria and fungi were in the ranges of 97-1 909 CFU·m-3 and 92-1 737 CFU·m-3, respectively. The concentrations of culturable bioaerosols increased along with a deterioration in air quality. The size distribution of the bacteria migrated to coarse particles. Fungal aerosols showed a normal distribution at low pollution levels, while for a high levels, they preferenced fine particles. Results from the principal component analysis (PCA) indicate that the concentration of culturable bioaerosols is mainly influenced by haze, solar radiation, and relative humidity. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that bacterial aerosol concentrations are positively correlated with haze (P<0.05) and relative humidity, while no significant negative correlations with solar radiation exists. Fungal aerosol concentrations did not have significant positive correlations with haze, solar radiation, or relative humidity. The results of this study will provide basic data for evaluating the effects of bioaerosols on human health and the environment. © 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.
