Sources and characteristics of airborne materials 3. Atmospheric transport 4. Deposition 5. Sampling techniques 6. Impact of airborne materials on living systems 7. Modeling of aerobiological systems 8. The challenges of aerobiology The book is recommended to the meteorologist who wants to learn about aerobiology.

On the other hand, the meteorological discussions in Chapters 3 and 4 have been written 'down' to the level of the biologists and have generally avoided controversial questions and research gaps.
