New Delhi: Airborne Pathogens, Bacteria Capable of causing infections in the lungs, gut, Mouth, and skin, are twice as abundant in denseli populated parts compared to Less Crowded Region to ACCORODEDEDED Study Led by the bose institute, an autonomous institute of the department of science and technology (DST), on Tuesday.

The team studed the health risks posd by airborne pathogens in an urban metropolitan city like delhi.

Their findings, published in an International Journal Named ‘Atmospheric Environment: X’, Showed that Airborne Pathogenic Bacteria, mainly responsible for respiratory, gastrointestinal trend (Git) Oral, and skin infections, are two times higher over denseli populated urban regions due to higher concentrations of tiny particles PM2.5.

“PM2.5 – The Microscopic dust specks help bacteria to hit a ride through the city air,” stated the results, LED by Dr. Sanat Kumar Das.

“Since the particles are small enough to sneak deep into the lungs, they act as carriers of the pathogenic bacteria, thus spreading the infection to different parts of the body,” that added.

Delhi, an urban region within the indo-gangetic plain (igp) in India, is one of the most densely populated regions in the world with the highest air pollution.

DURING Winter, The Entrance of Western Disturbance Causes a Sudden Drop In Atmospheric Temperature, Thereby Subsequent Increasing Relative Humidity (R), Which IslasSible For Stagnant Windy and Low Boundary Layer Height, Favouring Accumulation of Lower Atmospheric Pollutants Over IGP.

“The transition from winter to summer, especially during hazy days or winter rains, creates high-Risk windows when airborne diseases are more like to spread. Pollution and weather patterns creations the perfect story for microbes to linger in the air longer than usual, ”The resarchers said.

A Significant Increase in Airborne Microbial Population Has Earlier Been Reported in Winter Over IGP. However, there was limited information Regarding the effect of meteorology, air pollution, and population on Airborne Bacterial Communities that Can Help Undersand Their IMPACT On Human Health.

The new study “Could be a wake-up call for urban health planning,” said the results.

“Megacities like delhi, where millions Breathe in PoLLUTED AIR DAILY, May also be exposing Residents to Invisible Bacterial Communities Enriched With Pathogens. Environmental Factors, And Population Density Affect these Airborne Bacteria and Result Disease Transmission Cold Help Governments and Health Experts Better Predict OutBreaks, IMPORIVE URBANICT OUTBREAKS Design, and Protect Citizens, “They said.
