The aim is to investigate the airborne-pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes distribution in urban greenspace and wetlands.

The deterioration of air quality has detrimental effects to human health, and animals due to the effects of fine particles of PM2.5 or less. According to Yan Xu et. al. 2022 air pollution leads to 3.3 million pre-mature deaths per year Worldwide. There are high degree of antimicrobial resistance genes distribution within urban greenspace and wetlands, along with pathogens, and toxins. For example, Pak et. al. 2022 there are 77% of 70 species of Pseudomonas, Azotobacter, enterobacteria, and Fermicutes isolates which are resistant to antibiotic Beta-lactams and their resistance genes, including blaTEM , blaSHV, blaVEB, blaCTXM-1, blaOXA-1, blaAmpC, and blaDHA, the evidence shows, that AMR of airborne-pathogens abundance is lacking potential level of detection, which is largely remains unknown. The project will have positive impacts to local communities in UK, Hospitals, farm industries, agricultural sectors, fisheries and stakeholders within urban greenspace and wetland settings, in providing critical solutions due to overmounting effects of airborne-pathogens, and their antimicrobial resistance genes, and toxigenic air pollution.
