While municipal solid waste (MSW) provides an ideal habitat for pathogen propagation, the dynamics and assembly of airborne communities in these environments remain largely unknown. Here, we combined amplicon metagenomics with spatiotemporal sampling to study inhalable particulate matter-carried potential pathogenic bacteria at full-scale food treatment plants (FWTPs), alongside comparisons urban air area. The results showed that constituted a notable portion (64.5 % ± 20.6 %, n = 75) total bacterial FWTPs-impacted air, species relative abundance 2-4 times higher than contributed over 50 pathogens outdoor air. Airborne community structures were highly shaped by sites (i.e. units), but conserved across seasons (summer vs. winter) particle sizes (PM
