Abstract:

Background and Aim: One of the types of air pollutants is dust. Dust is one of the most devastating factors for the environment threatening all human health disorders. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the Undesirable effects of dust on human life.Search Method: This research is a review study using the resources of Latin and Persian from print materials to Internet resources and searching related articles in the magiran, Google Scholor, Pubmed, Iranmedex, SID citation databases. Keywords used include: dust, human health, air pollutant. A total of 27 articles were found that after reviewing the abstract articles and removing unrelated articles, 8 articles were used in this study.Results: The World Health Organization estimates that 500,000 people die of exposure to free airborne particles in the open air each year. It also estimates that the annual cost of air pollution from air pollution in Austria, France and Switzerland is about 30 billion pounds, equivalent to 6% of total mortality. Data on the PM10 and P2.5 loadings of dust events are discussed, as are various pollutants Such as heavy metals, pesticides, and biological components Such as spores, fungi, bacteria. Among the human health effects of dust storms are respiratory disorders (including asthma, tracheitis, pneumonia, allergic rhinitis and silicosis) cardiovascular disorders (including stroke), conjunctivitis, skin irritations, meningococcal meningitis, valley fever, diseases associated with toxic algal blooms and mortality and injuries related to transport accidents.Conclusion: Biological measures are key solutions to overcome dust storms. An example of such actions is the creation of vegetation in desert areas. Undoubtedly, controlling the adverse effects of dust on human health requires more effort and coordination between different devices, including the Ministry of Health and Industry.
