Another instance of bioaerosol-spread health issues was an increase in human respiratory problems for Caribbean-region residents that may have been caused by traces of heavy metals, microorganism bioaerosols, and pesticides transported via dust clouds passing over the Atlantic Ocean.
Indoor bioaerosols may originate from outdoor air and indoor reservoirs. [3] [4] Although outdoor bioaerosols cannot easily migrate into large buildings with complex ventilation systems, certain categories of outdoor bioaerosols (i.e., fungal spores) do serve as major sources for indoor bioaerosols in naturally ventilated buildings at specific periods of time (i.e., growing seasons for fungi).

Aerosol droplets produced by flushing the toilet can mix with the air of the room, [9] larger droplets will settle on surfaces or objects creating fomites (infectious pools) before they can dry, like on a counter top or toothbrush; [8] [11] and can contaminate surfaces such as the toilet seat and handle for hours, which can then be contacted by hands of the next user of that toilet.

Infected people generate larger droplets and aerosols which can infect over longer distances. A poster outlining precautions for airborne transmission in healthcare settings.
An inoculation loop (also called a smear loop, inoculation wand or microstreaker) is a simple tool used mainly by microbiologists to pick up and transfer a small sample of microorganisms called inoculum from a microbial culture, e.g. for streaking on a culture plate. [1] [2] This process is called inoculation.
