Abstract

Exposure to particulate matter presents a significant global public health challenge, impacting various organ systems and populations. Research consistently demonstrates a link between airborne dust and adverse health outcomes. Studies reveal increased risks for lung cancer, cardiovascular diseases in vulnerable groups, and cognitive decline. Furthermore, particulate matter contributes to respiratory hospitalizations in children, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in occupational settings, and modulates the human immunesystem. Evidencealsopoints to associations with mental health disorders, accelerated epigenetic aging, and the severe health consequences of ultrafine particles and desert dust storms. This body of research underscores the urgent need for robust air quality interventions.
