Abstract :
Background and Objective: Air pollution is one of the most important environmental crises of living (humans, animals and plants). Exposure to air pollution is associated with different health outcomes. Air pollution causes a reduction in the average life expectancy, an increase in various diseases. Given the correlation between the harmful effects on the bio-safety attributable to airborne particulate index (PM10) in air quality, the aim of this study was to investigate the trend of changes in airborne particulate index (PM10) over an eight-year period (2011-2018) based on index (PSI) and its analytical dependence on health over a period of time was Kermanshah metropolitan.
Material and Methodology: Data from the active station of Kermanshah Environmental Protection Agency was collected and the process of changing the concentration of pollutants by the psi index was analyzed.
Findings: The unhealthiest, very unhealthy and dangerous conditions of air quality were observed in the winter, summer and winter seasons, respectively, with a significant difference in autumn compared to spring. Also, the study of air quality changes during the eight-year period showed a significant difference in season and month (P <0.001). However, with the exception of one year (2014), the average range of PM10 (μg / m3) concentrations did not differ significantly.
Discussion and Conclusion: In addition to the correlation between the amount of PM10 contaminated with environmental and health effects, Kermanshah air quality has a relative distance between the PM10 pollutants and the standard state.
