When asked to describe air pollution, the average person will invariably mention the word “smog”. Although the term is often poorly understood, social awareness of it is much higher than just a few years ago. In the era of globalization, it has become clear that smog goes beyond dust and gas pollution and encompasses the microbiological purity of the air. This is due, among other things, to the fact that the human body may not only be a reservoir but also an emitter of microbiological particles dangerous to health and life. According to Górny, SCMB (Harmful Microbiological Factors) are easier to aerosolize compared to other air pollutants [1]. It highlights the risk of infectious diseases from abroad, including allergic disease entities. It also emphasizes the close relationship between various types of air pollution.
