Abstract
Dust and bacterial contamination of the air-space within pig sheds is recognised as a health hazard for both pigs and humans (Done, 1991; Donham, 1991) and can increase the prevalence of respiratory disease in pigs (Skirrow et al., 1995). Dust is also reported as providing a vector for the maintenance of bacterial aerosols in air-spaces and the transport of bacteria into the respiratory passages (Mossfer and Fung, 1990).
