Abstract

Abstract: When describing atmospheric corrosion, general terms (air pollution) and conditions (meteorological parameters) are considered. The acceptable corrosion rates that are calculated are generic in nature and cannot be relied upon when estimating the atmospheric corrosion over a geographical region. In this paper, the review of atmospheric bioaerosols was carried-out to enlighten professionals on the need to disintegrate the constituents of air pollutants into aerosols and bioaerosols. This would make it easy for scientists to adequately estimate carrion rates during airborne pandemic areas. This would certainly lead to the development of ISO standards for this branch of atmospheric corrosion. The success of this research would not be applicable to atmospheric corrosion but in monitoring airborne diseases.
