conclusions according to the results of this study, this increase could be due to higher fuel consumption, usage of gasoline in vehicles, oil industry, and steel and heavy industries in ahwaz. the risk of mortality and morbidity were detected at the current concentrations of air pollutants. results according to the findings, the concentration of sulfur dioxide in ahvaz had an annual average of ...

sulfur dioxide has two important sources in the atmosphere and this is why most of scientists believe in a geographic split in the globe. power plants, major emitter of so2, are located in north hemisphere such as in russia, china, canada and the usa. in south hemisphere, phytoplankton produces a massive amount of dimethyl sulfide (dms) and dimethyl disulfide (dmds). then these types of reduced...

asthma is one of the most common diseases in childhood, which has been increased during last decade because of epidemiological pattern changes with climate and industrialization of the communities. there are some controversies on the relationship between air pollution and asthma. tehran, as the capital of iran, is one of the densest populations and is one of the most polluted cities in the worl...

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...

Background Sodium sulfite (Na2SO3) is a product of sulfur dioxide (SO2). Inhaled sulfur dioxide can be easily hydrated to yield sodium sulfite in the respiratory tract. Sulfur dioxide is one of the most important air pollutants that can adversely affect the respiratory system. Rhinovirus (RV) is a major cause of common cold and is a major risk factor responsible for the exacerbation of asthma a...

Air pollution is air contaminated by anthropogenic or naturally occurring substances in high concentrations for a prolonged time, resulting in adverse effects on human comfort and health as well as on ecosystems. Major air pollutants include particulate matters (PMs), ground-level ozone (O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxides (NO2), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). During the last t...
