Abundance and cultivable bioaerosol transport from a municipal solid waste landfill area and its risks

Ting Zhang et al.

Summary: Municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills, as one of the major contributors to bioaerosols, have adverse effects on health. A study developed a model to understand the impact of a typical MSW landfill on ambient bioaerosol pollution and found that bioaerosols had significantly higher horizontal diffusion velocity than vertical velocity under calm winds. Monitoring revealed higher concentrations of particulate matter near the landfill, with elevated levels of microorganisms. Human health risk assessments highlight the importance of reducing outdoor activities for residents near MSW landfills.

Zhishu Liang et al.

Summary: This study assessed the characteristics and exposure risks of airborne microorganisms in different sectors of a typical landfill. The results showed that active areas during waste disposal processes and the surrounding areas had higher levels of pathogenic microorganisms and allergenic fungi. Additionally, the surrounding areas had higher levels of antibiotic resistance genes. These findings provide guidance for reducing and preventing respiratory allergy or infection risks in occupational environments related to waste management.

Inhalable antibiotic resistomes emitted from hospitals: metagenomic insights into bacterial hosts, clinical relevance, and environmental risks

Dong Wu et al.

Summary: The study found that airborne fine particulate matter (PM2.5) emitted from hospitals contains a higher abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) compared to urban ambient air PM2.5. The ARGs are closely associated with human-source-influenced bacterial communities, indicating the presence of potential antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The transfer potential of ARGs remains high in hospital air PM samples, and is related to beta-lactam-resistant infections within the hospital. Additionally, the study reveals that the risk of exposure to potentially virulent bacteria through inhalation of PM2.5 is ten times greater than through drinking water ingestion.

Global Meta-analysis of Airborne Bacterial Communities and Associations with Anthropogenic Activities

Xiaoqing Jiang et al.

Summary: Airborne microbiome alterations, linked to anthropogenic activities, have become a global health concern. A meta-analysis of 3226 air samples revealed that anthropogenic activity-related samples showed increased microbial diversity, abundance of pathogens, co-occurrence network complexity, and decreased positive edge proportions. Additionally, human production process factors were found to be quantitatively associated with microbial richness. Airborne pathogens were more likely to originate from the human body surface. These findings advance our understanding of the relationship between anthropogenic activities and airborne bacteria, emphasizing the role of airborne pathogens in public health.

Supercarriers of antibiotic resistome in a world's large river

Jiawen Wang et al.

Summary: By studying the Yangtze River, it was found that human pathogen bacteria are the major hosts of antibiotic resistance genes in the river, rather than conventional supercarriers that are prevalent in the human gut. This discovery not only explains the inconsistency between the spatial distribution of antibiotic resistance genes and their hosts, but also emphasizes the importance of controlling terrestrial pathogenic bacteria in the global riverine ecosystems.

Bioaerosols in the landfill environment: an overview of microbial diversity and potential health hazards

Abhilash T. Nair

Summary: Landfilling is an essential part of solid waste management globally, but it can lead to the release of bioaerosols into the atmosphere, posing health risks to employees and surrounding communities. Studies have shown that landfill air is dominated by microbial dust and pathogenic microbes, with higher bioaerosol concentrations reported in spring and summer due to favorable meteorological conditions. It is recommended that workers in landfill sites use personal protective equipment and practice hygiene to reduce occupational exposure to bioaerosols.

Contributions of meat waste decomposition to the abundance and diversity of pathogens and antibiotic-resistance genes in the atmosphere

Yun Yu et al.

Summary: The decomposition of chicken and pork in household waste landfilling can lead to high abundance emission of bioaerosols and pathogens, while fish fermentation results in increased airborne microbial activity. Pathogenic bacteria Bacilli, Burkholderia-Paraburkholderia, and Mycobacterium were the main species found in bioaerosols, indicating independent aerosolization ability in leachate. Leachate had significantly higher diversity and relative abundance of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) compared to bioaerosols, with changes in the pathogenic community contributing to the prevalence of ARGs in both bioaerosols and leachate.
