    Notes: Summary We collected bacteria from the atmosphere (5–6 m above ground level) with an Andersen microbial sampler at Fengtai District, Beijing, in the spring and autumn of 1989. The 195 strains of bacteria collected and isolated were identified according to their morphological, biochemical and physiological characteristics. The results showed that there were 11 bacterial genera in the atmosphere of the town, the most abundant beingStaphylococcus andBacillus. The order of prevailing genera of the two seasons is similar. In morphology, gram positive (G+) bacteria predominate among atmospheric bacteria (G+ cocci, G+ rods and G+ endospore-forming rods). It seems that the constitution of atmospheric bacteria is influenced not only by the source strength of the various bacteria in the environment, but also by their somewhat resistant mechanisms such as protective pigments and spore structure. From our experience, in order to avoid the possible data loss from selecting and identifying some «representative» colonies of samples, all strains isolated should be identified when studying ecological distribution of microbes in the atmosphere.

    Notes: Summary The atmospheric microbial pollutants are potentially correlated to population density and activity as well as to human health. The higher the population density is, the heavier the air microbial pollution will become. Some meteorological factors exert great influence on air microbial pollution. Generally, wind, solar radiation and rainfalls purify air and, consequently cause a decrease in atmospheric microbial pollution. On the other hand, prevailing strong winds may favour this pollution, especially in dry conditions and in absence of vegetation. Obviously, relatively high temperatures associated with high RH enhance the growing of microbes. However, the higher the temperature is, the lower the viability of airborne microbes will be; nonetheless, with high RH a decrease in suspended particles may be recorded.

    Notes: Summary This study was aimed at the detection of the Count Medium Diameter (CMD) of airborne bacterial and fungal particles with the Andersen's six-stage viable air-sampler at four sites over Beijing and Tianjin area. The results were as follows: in the first period (1984–1985) the CMDs annual average were 5.6, 6.6, 5.5, 7.1 µm at Xi-Dan, Feng-Tai, Tang-Gu and Huai-Rou respectively. The CMDs annual average of the airborne fungal particles were 3.9 µm at Feng-Tai and Xi-Dan. In the second period (1987–1988), the CMD annual average of airborne bacteria was 7.3, that of airborne fungi was 3.9 µm at Xi-Dan. At Huai-Rou, the CMD of airborne-bacteria was 7.1.
