They are defined by the American Conference of Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) as airborne particles, large molecules or volatile compounds that are living, contain living organisms or were released from living organisms. Bioaerosols that suspended in ambient air are cause of concern because of the potential health impacts. In this study, a bibliometric analysis based on Science Citation Index (SCI) was carried out on bioaerosol-related publications during the time span of 1991 to 2004. Methods Documents used in this study were based on the databases of the SCI which was accessed from the ISI Web of Science, Philadelphia, PA, USA. “Bioaerosols, bioaerosol, bio-aerosol and bio-aerosols” were used as keywords to search titles, abstracts, or keywords. Results • Conclusions • The yearly production has increased with the United States producing 49% the articles followed by Germany with a 12% contribution. • English remains the dominant language. • The three most productive corresponding countries were the US, Germany, and UK. • The University of Cincinnati at US produced most corresponding institute articles, followed by the National Institute of Occupational Health at Denmark, and National Taiwan University. • The US was the most frequent partner accounting for comprising 26% of the international collaborative publications followed by the Germany, and Canada. • The most frequently used author keyword in bioaerosol research was ‘fungi’ and followed by ‘bacteria’, ‘endotoxin’, ‘occupational exposure’, and ‘indoor air quality’.
