1. A device for capturing particles present in the air which is portable and autonomous for knowing the biodiversity in the air environment by analyzing the DNA, RNA, organisms or specific metabolites from said particles, which comprises a container (1) that has an air inlet (2) from the outside to the inside of the container (1), and an air outlet (3) from the inside of the container (1) to the outside of the container (1); the device being characterized in : - a compact design that enables it to be coupled to any type of transportation means (ground, air and/or water), thus generating a forced air current to the inlet (2) of the container (1); - that between the air inlet (2) and outlet (3), the container (1) comprises a first air-capturing module (7) inside same which is able to be amplified with one or several air-capturing modules (7',7"); - that each module (7) and successive second air-capturing modules (7',7") located between the air inlet (2) and outlet (3), in turn comprises: air-filtering means (4, 4', 4"), configured to retain particles larger than or equal to a predetermined size, and permit the passage of air and particles smaller than said predetermined size; and a first receptacle in turn comprising a retaining plate (5, 5', 5") covered, at least partially, in a greasy substance or another adhesive surface and covered on the largest anterior surface (5a) thereof, and configured to collect at least part of the particles present in the air. 2. The device for capturing particles present in the air, according to claim 1, characterized in that it comprises an air flow meter (6) coupled to the air outlet (3) of the container (1), and configured to measure the air flow that circulates through said container (1). 3. The device for capturing particles present in the air, according to claim 2, characterized in that it comprises a data registration module (10) connected to the flow meter (6) and configured to store the measurements of the air flow evaluated by said flow meter (6). 4. The device for capturing particles present in the air, according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the air filtering means (4, 4', 4") are made up of a plate perforated with holes with predefined diameters. 5. The device for capturing particles present in the air, according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the retaining plate (5, 5', 5") is made from a material that is sterile and/or able to be sterilized. 6. The device for capturing particles present in the air, according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that filtering means (4, 4', 4") are made from a material that is sterile and/or able to be sterilized. 7. The device for capturing particles present in the air, according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the air inlet (2) and/or outlet (3) in the tank (1) are made from a material that is sterile and/or able to be sterilized. 8. The device for capturing particles present in the air according to any of the preceding claims characterized in that the air inlet (2) and/or outlet (3) in the tank (1) comprises blocking means configured to modify the passage area of the air from the outside to the inside of the container (1) and/or from the inside of the container (1) to the outside. 9. The device for capturing particles present in the air, according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that it has an apparatus for driving air to the inside of the container (1), and that is coupled to the inlet (2) of the container (1). 10. The device for capturing particles present in the air, according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that it comprises non-biological sensors for capturing physical and chemical parameters of the air coupled to the outlet (3) of said container (1).
