Main summary
Just one person adds 37 million bacteria to the air every hour. A team of scientists measured the micro organisms in a classroom over a period of 8 days. 4 days it had people in it and 4 days it was empty. Humans in the room made a lot more fungi and bacterial particles. Scientists concluded that 18% of the bacteria was made by the human occupants. Of the 15 types of bacteria 4 were made by the humans including the most abundant Propionibacterineae. Carpets add bacteria but it doesn't mean that carpets should be removed.
I think that this is good that the scientists found out about this. But I think its very bad that a single person adds this much bacteria to a room. Even worse they add the most abundant one.
