In 3 different labs I've worked in, we had issues with Micrococcus luteus contamination.
Staphylococcus epidermidis was sometimes a problem too, but that doesn't contaminate the air, it is part of the normal bacteria on your skin.

This may help. It also depends what work you're doing in the lab. Working with fungi will produce a lot of spores which become airborne. S. epidermidis can also be found as it is very common on the skin, and as we shed dailiy, it gets into the air. At this time of year, Coronavirus, such as those that cause common colds are also present in the air. E.coli, Shigella and Hep A are possible in a toilet setting
