| Dr. Adhikari’s research focuses on the exposure assessment and characterization of airborne microorganisms, aeroallergens, endotoxin, and(1→3)-β-d-glucan in occupational, residential, and ambient environments, which are relevant to respiratory allergy, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, infectious diseases, and biodeterioration. Additionally, he has been involved with several projects focusing indoor air pollution and biohazard control using air ionization and photocatalytic oxidation methods, application of halogen-enriched filled nanocomposite materials for inactivating airborne bacteria and viruses, influences of air pollutants and meteorological changes on airborne microbial flora, and respiratory protection against airborne microorganisms. |
