“…It is released naturally by volcanic activity and also produced as a by-product of combustion of sulfur containing fuel. 13 Inhalation of SO 2 is mainly related to respiratory and pulmonary diseases, difficulty in breathing, reduced visibility, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) and premature death. 14 Epidemiological studies showed that high levels of PM 10 in the air can lead to cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure and venous thromboembolism.…”

Introduction: Air pollution is an emerging risk factor for human health like cancer and other health outcomes in developing countries, especially in Iran where air pollutants concentrations are high. However, the data on health effects of air pollution are limited. Objective: In this study, we have estimated the mortality for all causes (TM) and for cardiovascular diseases (CM), as well as the number of hospital admissions due to cardiovascular (HA-CVD) and respiratory diseases (HA-RD), chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (HA-COPD), and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) due to exposure to common air pollutants. Materials and Methods: In our study, the World Health Organization (WHO) method was applied to assess the mortality and morbidity rates from published relative risk (RR) and baseline incidence (BI) values. Results: The results showed that 4.60% (95% CI: 3.50-5.31%) TM, 4.96% (95% CI: 3.16-10.50%) CM, 4.97% (95% CI: 3.04-6.81%) HA-RD, 5.55% (95% CI: 3.77-7.82%) HA-CVD, 2.50% (95% CI: 0-4.61%) HA-COPD and 4.73% (95% CI: 1.14-4.65%) AMI, respectively can be attributed to daily PM 10 and SO 2 concentrations exceeding 10 μg/m 3 . Conclusion: To reduce the adverse health impact of air pollution, health advices and recommendations by local health authorities should be given to general population especially for vulnerable people i.e. children, elderly or people with chronic lung and cardiac pathologies during the dusty days.

The emission of pollutants in a gas refinery depends on some factors, including refinery age, location, capacity, specifications of the feedstock, types of products, and the complexity of the operating units. Air quality management strategy is of great importance in minimizing the effects of air pollution, especially in places with multiple pollution sources [1]. In general, refineries emit more than 100 types of atmospheric pollutants. These pollutants include dust, metals, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, methane, dioxin, hydrogen fluoride, chloride, benzene, and other harmful gasses [2].
