Grim Reaper 6 Posted September 21, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2021 For some diseases, exposure to just a single airborne particle containing virus, bacteria, or fungi can be infectious. When this happens, understanding and predicting airborne disease spread can be a whole lot easier. Some diseases spread when you breathe in infectious airborne particles. These airborne diseases are a major world health problem. According to the World Health Organization, lung infections are the fourth-leading cause of death worldwide and tuberculosis is a leading cause of death in lower-income countries. As scientific studies have shown, airborne diseases caused by viruses, bacteria and fungi can spread over distances ranging from a few feet up to hundreds of miles. Individual airborne disease outbreaks have affected thousands of people. https://scitechdaily.com/what-if-just-a-single-airborne-particle-was-enough-to-infect-you/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
