Research findings, 'Simulation and minimisation of the airway deposition of airborne bacteria,' are discussed in a new report. "Respiratory infections represent one of the most important bioaerosol-associated health effects. Bacteria are infectious micro-organisms that may, after inhalation, cause specific respiratory diseases," scientists in Budapest, Hungary report (see also Life Sciences).
