Passive Bioaerosol Sampler using Ferroelectric Polymer
Invention Summary:
This is the first air sampler for airborne viruses, bacteria, mold or pollen (i.e. bioaerosol) that does not need an air mover or power source of any kind (i.e. passive). It can be easily applied anywhere in indoor and outdoor environments providing representative data on ambient levels of bioaerosols and also other particulate...
