| Airborne Microorganisms: |
a) Living, decaying and dead microorganisms suspended in the air as free-floating particles and cells which can be inhaled. b) Biologically active contaminates suspended in the air either as free-floating particles surrounded by a film or organic or inorganic material, or attached to the surface of other suspended particulates.
