Bacteria and Viruses Are Raining Down on Us All the Time

The video explores the presence and movement of airborne microbes, including viruses and bacteria, which can travel vast distances and potentially spread diseases. While most are harmless, some can cause health issues, and their movement is influenced by wind patterns and human activities. Climate change may exacerbate these issues by increasing the amount of dust and microbes in the atmosphere.
