Review highlights climate change impacts on airborne microorganisms and public health globally, suggesting new solutions.
Abstract:Climate change when it had commenced due to anthropogenic activities is currently alsoinfluencing cells, propagules, environment aerosol borne, bioaerosol borne dispersal ofmicroorganisms (modes like the annual dust storms, urban and metropolitan suspended dustby vehicle plying on roads, desert storms, volcanic eruptions, silica- asbestosis, cement dustfrom building construction and industries, etc) are the major factors elevating problems likecontact dermatitis, respiratory diseases, allergies, occupational hazards (lung cancers, etc) tohumans and mammals. Thus, aeromicrobiology is concerned with health status andsocioeconomic progress of humans globally. Several species of aspergillus spores cause skinand respiratory tract infection. A. niger and A. fumigatus is the cause of otomycosis due toinfections of outer ear canal. Defeacating in open, dessication, and dispersion of faecalcontaminated soil carry airborne microorganisms (fungi, bacteria, viruses etc.,) far and wide.Tuberculosis, diphtheria, meningitis, pertusis, Streptococcus pneumonia as well as anthrax;Pandemic of Covid-19 and other virus infections spread through air. This is throughbioaerosol - aerosol transition facilitated by moisture, heat, temperature and air currents.Moreover, both natural and unnatural factors alter aeromicrobiology impact on humans. A‘solar aeromicrobiology model’ to purify air at any place have been proposed to eradicate orreducepathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganism (proposed by D.R.Saxena).The rapid Zooplane are "Machzooplane" such as birds, bats, and insects spread all types ofmicroorganisms intracontinentally if they are migratory (also fishes), if not intercontinently.The intracontinental zooplane include above stated animals as well as rodents, reptiles, etc.,that daily move in search of food, mate, etc. The slowest but ecologically significant zooplaneare bugs, ants, soil worms that disseminate the nonpathogenic and pathogenic microorganismsoccurring in air, water as well as soil borne medium.Scavengers also disseminatemicroorganisms (using various media-animal/human microbial cycle as proposed by theauthor) due to their feeding– defaecation and locomotory behaviour.Use of AI fabricated and controlled universal solar aeromicrobiology model also minidomestic models in everyresidence / flat has been hypothesized. The Prions may be a discarded protein particleofafaulty gene that is quiescent and may be accidently switched on. Now such genes maymetabolically synthesize materials such as DNA, RNA, Proteins, etc., in the bodies ofmicroorganisms, invertebrates and vertebrates including humans. This mechanism may be forslow or rapid evolution of self and non self infectious agents( this unwanted DNA, RNA,Proteins that are accidently synthesized and are not degraded and now cause diseases ),theirproduction may be accelerated manifolds triggered by continuous current climate as well asclimate changes in future and that will be the cause of global human deaths.
