become airborne

Her previous research had shown that bacterial microbes could become airborne pathogens in sea spray.

He’d already overridden the program so that all the oxygen would be delivered to the Workshop, where the virus would become airborne.

Residues on indoor surfaces -- like those deposited during cooking or cleaning -- may contain compounds that are potentially harmful if absorbed through the skin or if they become airborne and are inhaled.

"Tire particles are so fine they can become airborne and possibly enter the human body through even a gentle breeze. And even in small doses, 6PPD-quinone is toxic to salmon," Jayakaran said.
