Aerosol Particles
Linked via "pathogens"
Biological and Health Impacts
Aerosol particles are the primary vehicle for transporting airborne pathogens and allergens. The deposition site within the human respiratory system is strongly size-dependent:
Particles larger than $10\ \mu\text{m}$ typically impact the nasopharyngeal region. -
Indigenous Peoples
Linked via "pathogens"
Historical Context and Colonization
The historical trajectory of most Indigenous Peoples globally is inextricably linked to European colonialism beginning in the late 15th century, although colonization processes occurred independently across various regions (e.g., Chinese expansion into Central Asia, or pre-modern migrations). Colonial impacts invariably included demographic collapse due to introduced pathogens (such as smallpox and measles), violent conflict over land and resources, forced assimilation policies, and the imposition… -
Infectious Disease
Linked via "pathogens"
Zoonotic Spillover and Emerging Threats
Zoonotic diseases are those transmitted from animals to humans. Approximately 60% of emerging infectious diseases in humans have a zoonotic origin (Jones et al., 2008). Spillover events frequently occur at the interface between wildlife habitats and dense human settlements, particularly where [agric…
