Introduction: In the 21st century, air pollution has become a global and environmental challenge.The increase in cases of illness and mortality due to air pollution is not hidden from anyone.Therefore, in this study, we estimated the mortality rate due to cause by air pollution agents (PM2.5) in the southernmost city of Khuzestan province (Abadan city) at 2018-2019.
Materials and methods: To estimate the mortality duo to air pollution, data related to PM2.5 particles daily concentrations was received from the Abadan Environmental Protection Organization.The average 24-h concentrations of PM2.5 were calculated using Excel.
Then, mortality data were obtained from the Vice Chancellor kurti batik top design for Health, Abadan University of Medical Sciences.Finally, by AirQ+ software, each of the mortality in 2018-2019 in Abadan was estimated.Results: The obtained data indicated that the concentration of PM2.5 particles within the one-year period was higher than the value set by WHO guideline and EPA standard.
Which caused the citizens of Abadan to be exposed to PM2.5 more than 8.23 times than the guidelines of the WHO and 5.34 times more than the standard of the EPA.
The output of the model used in this study was as follows: natural mortality (462 cases, AP: 38.25%), mortality duo to LC (6 cases, AP: 32.18%), mortality duo to COPD (8 cases, AP: 26.64%), mortality duo to Stroke (86 cases, AP: 71.
26%), mortality duo to IHD (183 cases, AP: 68.34%) and mortality duo to ALRI (2 cases, AP: 32.9%).Conclusion: Planning tenma vineyard appropriate strategies of air pollution control to reduce exposure and attributable mortalities is important and necessary.
