उत्तर
Airborne diseases
Explanation:
In overcrowded and poorly ventilated conditions, airborne diseases are likely to spread rapidly. This is because infectious microbes that cause the common cold, tuberculosis, pneumonia, etc. can spread through the air from infected persons. The infected person throws out little droplets on sneezing, coughing or spitting. Someone standing closely can breathe in these droplets and, thus, microbes get a chance to start a new infection in this person.
