@6ef6ca40: While it is true that DNA fragments can persist in the environment for a long time, it is important to note that the amount of DNA in exhaled breath is typically very small. This means that any DNA fragments present in exhaled breath are unlikely to persist in the environment for very long or to be present in significant amounts. Additionally, the degradation of DNA fragments depends on various environmental factors, such as temperature, humidity, and exposure to UV radiation, which can affect their durability and persistence.
