Bioaerosols contain infectious and pathogenic microorganisms, emitting from hospitals, waste treatment plants, livestock farms and so on, so the workers in these situations face certain health risks due to long−term exposure to high concentrations of bioaerosols. By systematically reviewing recent literatures on the health risk assessment of bioaerosols, this study collates and summarizes the existing assessment methods health risks posed by bioaerosols. Several critical issues are identified, including inconsistent calculation methods, indiscriminate adoption of assessment methods for chemical substances, lack of localized exposure parameters, and absence of reference exposure doses−effect relationships. These deficiencies result in the lack of scientific rationality in bioaerosol health risk assessments, leading to difficult comparisons. Based on the current research, this review proposes that health risk assessment of bioaerosols should unify the calculation methods, adopt local exposure parameters, study the corresponding dose−effect relationship, derive the local reference exposure dose (RfD), and accelerate the formulation of relevant standards, which is helpful to accurately assesses the health risks of bioaerosols.
