Effects of Dust Phenomenon and Impacts with Emphasis in Khuzestan (Iran)

Background & Aims of the Study: According to statistics reported by the internationalorganization, 500,000 people annually due to airborne particulate matter exposure of the air aredying prematurely. Studies show the dust storm is responsible for the 7.1 % increase of fatality.Control of particulate matter is one of the most important methods of direct and indirect effectsof particles reduction. The aim of the study was the analysis of the relationship between exposureto particulate matter of plants, environment and human, which is a kind of crisis.Methods: This research is conducted the overview of studies, examining the relationship of dustphenomenon impacts with emphasis on dust problems and present solutions in Khuzestan, Iran.Conclusion: The evidence was considered inconclusive the environmental impact such asreducing vision loss caused by visible light availability, efficacy on the level of solar radiationand waste material. Short-term effects of dust, including more sensitive eyes, nose and throat,respiratory tract infections, headache, nausea and allergic reactions, this phenomenon can belong-term chronic respiratory and cardiovascular disease, lung cancer incidence and mortality.Proposed solution: Measures taken to decrease the impact of dust particles: avoid the outdooractivities, created ventilation system, increasing fluid intake to excretion of heavy metalsassociated with suspended particles such as mercury and lead, using a mask creation and designof clean room and sprayed mulch.
