Environmental pathogens pose a persistent and widespread threat to global health, with transmission routes
ranging from inhalation to ingestion. These microbes often thriving in air, water, soil, and surfaces can infiltrate
the human body via the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems, causing a spectrum of diseases. The increasing
complexity of urban infrastructure, climate change, poor sanitation, and global mobility has further enhanced the
spread and resilience of these pathogens. This article explores the intricate dynamics of pathogen transmission
from air to gut, highlighting the interconnectedness of airborne and waterborne infections. Key factors such as
environmental reservoirs, host susceptibility, vector involvement, and microbial resistance are examined in detail.
Emphasis is placed on surveillance strategies, preventive public health measures, and control mechanisms including
sanitation, vaccination, and innovative disinfection technologies. Understanding these pathways is essential not only
for managing outbreaks but also for developing integrated control strategies to mitigate future health crises.
