Determination of the main bioaerosol components using chemical markers by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
This work is part of an extensive research project aimed at the determination and characterization of bioaerosol with a
multidisciplinary approach. In this context, one of the main objectives of the project has been the development of a
comprehensive analytical method for the determination of different chemical biomarkers of the bioaerosol, by liquid
chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. The following biomarkers have been considered, and
correlated to specific components of bioaerosol as unambiguous indicators: • ergosterol fungal components •
