About the event
On October 29, 2025, the scientific center “Smart technologies for sustainable development of the urban environment in the context of global changes” of ATI RUDN University will organize an international scientific seminar “Advances in Bioaerosol Monitoring and Urban Air Microbiology”. The event will be held in a mixed format on the Yandex.Telemost platform. The working language is English.
The seminar focuses on modern approaches to studying bioaerosols and their role as components of atmospheric particles. The session will address key aspects of bioaerosol monitoring — from selecting optimal filters for sample collection to analyzing the biological composition of aerosols in relation to their optical and physical properties, based on results from the BIO-MASTER project campaigns in the Central Mediterranean region. Special attention will be given to the urban dust microbiome and the potential of green infrastructure to mitigate biological air pollution.
