The objectives of the study were to (i) investigate the temporal variation of cultivable airborne fungal and bacterial aerosols, (ii) understand the bioaerosol size distribution and their percentage contribution to PM, and (iii) characterize the microbial diversity at the study site. Again, this explanation is supported by the statistically significant correlation observed between bioaerosol concentrations and vehicle count during the study period (r = 0.81 and 0.73 for bacteria and fungi, respectively) (p < 0.05). Further, both bacterial and fungal bioaerosols showed no significant relationship (p > 0.05) with the rest of the meteorological variables (i.e., wind speed, solar radiation, and PBLH) suggesting that their distribution at the study site is chiefly affected by nonmeteorological factors. ./cache/cord-320976-y47p1c15.txt ./txt/cord-320976-y47p1c15.txt
