Answer:

waterborne diseases:cholera, diarrhea, typhoid, amebiasis, hepatitis, gastroenteritis, giardiasis,

airborne diseases:

difference:Airborne diseases are spread when droplets of pathogens are expelled into the air due to coughing, sneezing or talking. Water-borne disease is any disease that is caused by pathogenic microorganisms and most commonly transmitted through contact or consumption of infected water.

HOW TO PREVENT AIRBORNE DISEASES:Avoid close contact with people who have active symptoms of disease.

Stay home when you're sick. .

If you must be around others, wear a face mask to prevent spreading or breathing in germs.

Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze.

HOW TO PREVENT WATERBORNE DISEASES:Drink only filtered/boiled water.

Store water in a clean container,

Water jars/containers should be washed daily.

Always wash hands before and after preparing food or eating, likewise, children should be taught on hand washing.

P.S. hv a wonderful weekend!
