Background & objectives:AirQ software proved to be a valid and reliable tool to estimate the potential short term effects of air pollution. In this study the AirQ2.2.3 model was used to evaluate adverse health effects caused by nitrogen dioxide(NO2) exposure in Ahvaz during 2009. Materials & Methods:The AirQ,developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to predi...

<p>This study was conducted to evaluate the attributable proportion and relative risks caused by inevitable exposure of humans particulate matter (PM2.5 PM10). The health impacts particulates in terms were modulated using AirQ+ software. Input data related particulates’ concentration, population collected from Environment Protection Department (EPD), Punjab Bureau Statistics Health Punjab...

It is well established that respiratory mortality and morbidity are associated with high concentrations of fine particles such as PM2.5. The aim this study was to evaluate the long- short-term impacts PM2.5 on population Agadir, Morocco, using AirQ 2.1.1 software. mean values were obtained from data collected at three sites. Baseline incidence literature, relative risk (RR) referenced World Hea...

One of the air pollutant indices includes particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 10 μg/m3 (PM10). Particulate matter has extensive effects on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Dissemination of such particles for a longer period can lead to increased mortality and hospitalization. In this study, the data of PM10 pollutant wer...
