conclusions although relative risk per 10 µg/m3 is low and sometimes mortality and morbidity attributable to pollutant seems slight because of sensitive and large population exposed to air pollutants, burden of disease associated with air pollution will be great. therefore, authorities should apply necessary actions and efforts based on comprehensive scientific researches in order to control ai...

background: air pollution is one of the most important factors threatening the health of citizens. it increases the prevalence of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases as well as emergency admissions to hospitals in the polluted metropolitan cities. the present study was conducted using air quality (airq) model and aimed to investigate the effects of air pollution on the number of emergency c...

introduction sulfur dioxide has been widely studied among the human- made pollutants. air pollution is a major environmental risk to health. the less air pollution, the better the cardiovascular and respiratory health of the population will be, both long- and short-term. several studies have demonstrated relation between on short and long term effects exposure to air pollutants with human healt...

For more than twenty years, special efforts have been made in Europe aiming the reduction of adverseimpacts of atmospheric pollutants. These efforts led to a reduction of risks and effects, but air pollutionin Europe is still a matter of concern, mainly related with impacts on the human health and on theenvironment. These impacts were considered as environment and health priorit...
