Exposure to Urban Air Pollution Particulate Matter and Ocular Disorders

چکیده
About 90% of the world's population is exposed to air pollutants beyond limits World Health Organization (WHO) recommended. Due regular contact atmospheric with cornea, tear film, and conjunctiva, present in have direct access these ocular structures. Exposure different parts eye polluted results burning redness eye, disorders, several other problems. Several studies shown drastic impact pollution on eyes. In addition short-term effects, can also affect eyesight. Recently linked exposure risk glaucoma. Based findings inner retinal changes, urban particulate matter disorders suggests that PM2.5 may be an independent factor for The effects eyes are thought limited surface simple irritation. While has a much greater than we think. this mini-review, investigated following matter.

Estimation of exposure to fine particulate air pollution using GIS-based modeling approach in an urban area in Tehran
In many industrialized areas, the highest concentration of particulate matter, as a major concern on public health, is being felt worldwide problem. Since the air pollution assessment and its evaluation with considering spatial dispersion analysis because of various factors are complex, in this paper, GIS-based modeling approach was utilized to zoning PM2.5 dispersion over Tehran, du...
متن کاملHuman exposure to urban air pollution.
This study deals with some methods of making human exposure estimates, aimed at describing the human exposure for selected air pollutants in Sweden that are suspected carcinogens. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) have been chosen as an indicator substance for estimating the concentration of the urban plume. Earlier investigations have shown that the traffic in Swedish cities contributes around 85% to the ...
متن کاملUltrafine particulate matter and high-level benzene urban air pollution in relation to oxidative DNA damage.
Air pollution, containing high-level of ultrafine particles (UFP) and benzene, is a prominent environmental health problem in many cities of the World. We investigated the level of oxidative DNA damage in mononuclear blood cells (MNBC) by the comet assay as DNA strand breaks (SB) and formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase (FPG) sensitive sites in residents from three urban locations in Cotonou, Be...
متن کاملHousehold Air Pollution: Sources and Exposure Levels to Fine Particulate Matter in Nairobi Slums
With 2.8 billion biomass users globally, household air pollution remains a public health threat in many low- and middle-income countries. However, little evidence on pollution levels and health effects exists in low-income settings, especially slums. This study assesses the levels and sources of household air pollution in the urban slums of Nairobi. This cross-sectional study was embedded in a ...
متن کاملCardiovascular remodeling in response to long-term exposure to fine particulate matter air pollution.
BACKGROUND Air pollution is a pervasive environmental health hazard that occurs over a lifetime of exposure in individuals from many industrialized societies. However, studies have focused primarily on exposure durations that correspond to only a portion of the lifespan. We therefore tested the hypothesis that exposure over a considerable portion of the lifespan would induce maladaptive cardiov...
