Bacteria in Air

Bacteria are tiny microorganisms that exist everywhere, including in the air we breathe. They can be carried by dust particles, water droplets, and even on human skin. Most airborne bacteria are harmless or even beneficial, playing a role in processes like decomposition. However, some can cause diseases if inhaled in large numbers or if they come from contaminated sources. Airborne bacteria are an essential part of our ecosystem, contributing to nutrient cycling and influencing our health. Understanding them helps us appreciate the balance of life and the importance of air quality.
