A new CAICE Collaborative publication entitled “Taxon-Specific Aerosolization of Bacteria and Viruses in an Experimental Ocean-Atmosphere Mesocosm” was published on the May 22 issue of Nature Communications and explores the transfer of viruses and bacteria to sea spray aerosols. The study provides a foundational basis for future studies that could investigate the role of these microorganisms in the climate and their possible impact on public health when breathed as aerosolized particles.
