Infectious diseases can be transmitted in several ways, with air, water, and food being primary sources of infection. The risk of airborne, waterborne, and foodborne diseases highlights the importance of maintaining proper sanitation and hygiene standards. Airborne diseases spread through respiratory droplets, while waterborne diseases are contracted through contaminated water supplies. Foodborne diseases typically result from consumption of contaminated food products. Effective prevention of these diseases involves improving environmental sanitation, increasing public awareness, and ensuring that food and water sources are regularly monitored for safety. Public health strategies targeting these pathways are critical in minimizing the global burden of infectious diseases.
