Airborne Diseases

Air is the best medium to carry any amount of bacteria and virus that are harmful to human beings.

Examples

Some examples of airborne diseases are:

1. Whooping cough it is caused by bacteria. Any person suffering from cough for a long time may develop whooping cough.

2. Influenza: Air gets contaminated with the common cold causing virus from an infected person to transmit it to a healthy person.

4. Diphtheria, Tuberculosis, Meningitis: These three diseases are caused by bacteria.

Besides these, polluted air can cause a large number of respiratory diseases, like bronchitis, asthma and lung cancer.

Prevention of above Diseases:

We know prevention is better than cure. So, before infection we should prevent the microorganisms not to enter our body. It can be prevented by:

  1. Breathe in fresh air.
  2. Use a handkerchief while sneezing or coughing.
  3. It is necessary to separate the diseased person from others. Use of garments of a diseased person by another person must be avoided. Washing clothes, utensils and other personal belongings used by a diseased person should be washed separately, preferably with hot water.
