Aerobiology (from Greek ἀήρ, ''aēr'', "air"; βίος, ''bios'', "life"; and -λογία, ''-logia'') is a branch of biology that studies organic particles, such as bacteria, fungal spores, very small insects, pollen grains and viruses, which are passively transported by the air (Spieksma, 1991). Aerobiologists have traditionally been involved in the measurement and reporting of airborne pollen and fungal spores as a service to allergy sufferers (Larsson, 1993). Pierre Miquel was one of the fathers of aerobiology.〔Comtois, Paul. ''Pierre Miquel: the first professional aerobiologist''. Aerobiologia vol. 13, issue 2. June, 1997. p. 75-82〕 The first founding of airborne algae took place in Germany in 1910.〔Guadalupe Roy-Ocotla & Jorge Carrera (1993). ''(Aeroalgae: Responses to some aerobiological questions )'', Grana, 32:1, 48-56, DOI: 10.1080/00173139309436419.〕 In 2002, algae and other small water-borne organisms were discovered to inhabit clouds. A large cloud has about as much water as a shallow lake of the same geographic size. Aerobiology is a rapidly developing science, which also involves interactions with engineering and meteorology. The minimum requirements published after a big consensus are an international standard to ensure the quality in Aerobiological method.〔Galán, C., Smith, M., Thibaudon, M., Frenguelli, G., Oteros, J., Gehrig, R., ... & EAS QC Working Group.
