Biological contaminants can spread through several routes, including:
Direct Contact: Physical interaction with an infected person or contaminated surface. Airborne Transmission: Inhalation of pathogens present in the air, such as from coughing or sneezing. Droplet Transmission: Exposure to droplets containing pathogens, typically from respiratory secretions. Vector-Borne Transmission: Spread through vectors like mosquitoes or ticks. Common Vehicle Transmission: Contaminants spread through shared sources like food, water, or medical equipment.
