Air Pollution Health Risk Based on AirQ+ Software Tool

Abstract

In this industrial era, the world and mostly developing countries is facing the health risk problem due to the poor air quality of our environment. The estimation of health risk assessment due to pollution is one of major concern for scientific society or organization. AirQ + is a tool developed by WHO (World Health Organization, 2016) for evaluating the exposure and the health risk assessment due to pollution. It can deal with the accompanying mortality and morbidity of various air pollutants like PM 2.5 , PM 10 , NO 2 , O 3 and black carbon (BC) with software approaches to evaluate the impacts of long term and short term exposure in ambient or indoor air for the targeted population of a specific area. This paper is an effort to introduce the concept and operating steps for batter understanding and effective implantation of AirQ+ tool.
