Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is well known as a weather phenomenon that the tropical cyclone "typhoon" is generated in a tropical area and gives the damage including a heavy rain, the storm to Japan.In this study, we researched the atmospheric bioaerosols transformed for long distance by typhoon. Atmospheric bioaerosol are biological aerosols including viruses, bacteria, fungi, their spores, pollen, and others. The sampling carried out crossing Typhoon No.3(Nanmadol), 5(Noru), and 18(Talim), which strucked the Japanese southern coast, at the University of Tokushima and Hirosaki University. It was revealed that DNA concentration and bacterial composition changed with an approach and the passage of the typhoon significantly.
