<P> An airborne disease is any disease that is caused by pathogens that can be transmitted through the air . Such diseases include many of considerable importance both in human and veterinary medicine . The relevant pathogens may be viruses , bacteria , or fungi , and they may be spread through breathing , talking , coughing , sneezing , raising of dust , spraying of liquids , toilet flushing or any activities which generates aerosol particles or droplets . Human airborne diseases do not include conditions caused by air pollution such as volatile organic compounds ( VOCs ) , gasses and any airborne particles , though their study and prevention may help inform the science of airborne disease transmission . </P>
