Dust Effects and Human Health

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Dust and Health

Abstract

The societal evolution not only provides the progress of mankind, but also brings the serious environmental pollution. Industrial revolution changes environmental conditions, and environmental conditions are closely related with human health. Poor environmental conditions cause serious human health problems such as skin diseases, respiratory diseases, hearth diseases, stomach and lungs cancer, etc., which can lead to death. Dust is made of fine particles of solid matter, these dust particles are different pollutants, which come from both natural and anthropogenic sources and show different results in atmosphere and then in human health simultaneously. Dust comes from natural (desert storms) and anthropogenic (fossil fuel combustion, grinding, redecoration, etc.) sources; it can hold on in the air from hours to days. Human exposed by dust in three ways ingesting, resuspended dust particle inhalation, and dermal absorption. Different research work performed in different areas to examine the dust relation with human health, on the bases of published data on dust and human health I concluded that dust is the major cause of almost all serious health problems (skin, eye, heart, stomach and respiratory diseases, etc.), which can lead to death. Heavy metals present in the dust increase its toxicity due their non-biodegradability and carcinogenic property. Human health risk, which induced by dust, depends on exposure area, dust type, and dust doze.
