An airborne pathogen is a disease or sickness that can be transmitted through the air. This includes various viruses, fungi, and bacteria. These may be spread by coughing, sneezing, or dusting.
Airborne pathogens can be trapped by various methods such as high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) systems, and physical barriers like masks or face shields. These traps help to prevent the spread of airborne diseases by capturing and/or inactivating the pathogens before they can be inhaled by people.

Waterborne diseases are caused by microorganisms which are directly transmitted when contaminated fresh water is consumed. Airborne diseases are those diseases which are caused by pathogenic microbial agents which get discharged through coughing, sneezing, laughing or through close personal contact.
To prevent exposure to airborne or bloodborne pathogens during CPR, it is important to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, a mask, and eye protection. Ensure proper hand hygiene before and after performing CPR. Avoid direct contact with blood or bodily fluids by using a barrier device such as a CPR face shield or pocket mask.
Pathogens can be spread in hospitals through healthcare workers who are not following proper hand hygiene protocols, contaminated medical equipment and surfaces, airborne transmission from coughing or sneezing, direct contact with infected patients, and through improperly sterilized instruments or devices.

Yes, you can, provided it is someone else's sneeze or cough. Airborne pathogens travel very far from the person who openly sneezes, and coughs can also release airborne pathogens that others can pick up.

No TB is not genetically transmitted. TB is transmitted through airborne pathogens that are breathed in to the lungs.
A. cleaning chemicals. B. airborne pathogens.
the transmission of pathogens - bacteria, viruses, spores- in the atmosphere from person to persons for example coughing and sneezing expels the dust, pathogens etc out of the airways into the atmosphere where they can easily be inhaled by anyone or settle on inate objects to be transferred at a later date.
