Abstract:

Background & Aims of the Study: Particulate matter concentrations is the component ofone of greatest concern for human health and refer to fine suspended particulates less than10 microns in diameter (PM10) that are capable of penetrating deep into the respiratory tractand causing significant health damage. Particulate matters less than 10 microns can absorbinto your lungs and reacting with the moisture and enter the circulatory system directlythrough the airways. The aim of this study is to assess behavior PM10 data in differentseasons and determination effects on human health in Ahvaz city during 2013.Materials & Methods: Data particulate matters less than 10 microns were taken fromAhvaz Department of Environment and Meteorological Organization. Sampling wasperformed for 24 hours in 4 stations. Method of sampling and analysis were performedaccording to EPA guideline. Data behavior were evaluated over time in different seasons byprocessing data by Excel software. Processing data include the instruction set correction ofaveraging, coding and filtering. Finally, health-effects of particulate matters less than 10exposures were calculated with impact of meteorological parameters and converted as inputfile to the Air Q model.Results: Based on this results PM10 concentration in winter season was maximum amountin the year 2013. According to the research findings, highest and the lowest Particulatematters less than 10 microns concentrations during 2013 was in the Meteorology and headoffice of Ahvaz Department of Environment. Sum of total numbers of cardiovascular deathand hospitals admission to respiratory diseases attributed to particulate matters less than 10microns were 923 and 2342 cases in 2013 respectively.Conclusions: Particulate matter emissions are highly regulated in most industrializedcountries. Due to environmental concerns, most industries and dust storm phenomena arerequired to decrease in source produce particle mater and kind of dust collection system tocontrol particulate emissions. Pollution prevention and control measures that reduceParticulate matters less than 10 microns can very useful for expected to reduce people’sexposures to Sulfur dioxide.
