Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how aeration tanks in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) release airborne antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB), particularly noting the impact of bubble bursts at the air-liquid interface.
- - Researchers found that the ARG levels in particulate matter (PM) were significantly higher than in wastewater, suggesting that ARGs can be transmitted through the air, with certain bacteria like Mycobacterium and Gordonia being key contributors to this phenomenon.
- - The analysis indicates that these airborne ARGs are more resilient due to stress response genes, leading to heightened risks of exposure and potential health impacts from ARG-laden PM in the atmosphere.
