Assessment of Air-borne Bacteria of Urban Grain-market Area

Abstract: Generations of dust consisting bio-particle are common phenomenon during the post harvesting processing and handling of farm commodities. These organic dusts are responsible for generation of many respiratory disorders. The present study was done to identify, enumerate and differentiate the respirable and non-respirable fraction of gram-negative and total type of bacteria based on seasonality and other environment factors. A model has also been prepared by using Stepwise Linear Regression Analysis in order to predict the amount of bacteria with relation to environment factors
