A bioaerosol collection device (BCD) includes a housing with a first opening, a second opening, and a plate positioned between the first opening and the second opening. When a vacuum is applied to the second opening, the resulting air flow through the BCD causes bioaerosols to collect on a medium positioned on a surface of the plate. The collected bioaerosols are incubated and the resulting bacterial colonies can then be counted to determine a level of bioaerosol contamination in the air.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A bioaerosol collection device (BCD) comprising:a housing having an interior cavity, a first opening located at one part of the interior cavity, and a second opening located at another part of the interior cavity, wherein the second opening is connectable to a vacuum device which produces an air flow which moves into the first opening, through the interior cavity, and out the second opening,wherein the interior cavity supports a plate holding a medium for collecting bioaerosols, the plate being supported within the interior cavity such that the air flow flows across the medium and around the plate, enabling bioaerosols contained within the air flow to be collected onto the medium.
