The Effect Of Outdoor And Indoor Air Pollution On Human Health

A. Nihal Yucekutlu

Abstract


Desert dust is a source of mineral aerosols, whose geological and biogeochemical impacts are now recognized, is an important question in the crucial debate on global change. The biogeochemical impact of desert dust also remains a matter of discussion regarding its contribution for different major and minor elements to terrestrial and marine systems and especially its potential fertilizing role for remote oceanic areas by supplying micronutrients as phosphorus and iron [1, 2]. Wheat cultivars fed by irradiated Saharan soil solution gave comparable results to Hewitt nutrient solution [3]. Environmental biophysical environment, climate change, biodiversity and other resources are affected by desert dust aerosol or anthropogenic.

It is recognized that there is a much wider range of compounds in indoor and outdoor air that are of interest because of possible effects on the health of occupants. Depending on the pollutant, the concentration and the duration of exposure some organs are more affected than others. The most frequent disorders are those caused by irritant gases and particulates on the mucous membranes and respiratory organs. Aerosol effects on plants, as well as the air pollutants health effects of the most important pollutants have been discussed.
