Ld. Montoya et Lm. Hildemann, SIZE-RESOLVED QUANTIFICATION OF NONVIABLE INDOOR AEROALLERGENS - A REVIEW, Journal of environmental engineering, 123(10), 1997, pp. 965-973
A review of recent research conducted on the size distributions of ind
oor nonviable airborne allergens is presented here. An overview Is pro
vided on immunological techniques, such as the enzyme-linked immunosor
bent assay (ELISA) and radioimmunoassay (RIA), which have been success
fully used for the quantification of specific nonviable aeroallergens
in indoor environments. Studies of mite and cat aeroallergens containi
ng relevant size distribution information are analyzed and interpreted
from an aerosol science perspective. Recommendations for future resea
rch are also presented.
