“…Most of the articles published on this topic investigated in developed countries, while only a few papers came from developing countries. Finally, climate variability, air humidity, green space per capita, as well as the rate of industrial growth and the development of the studied society were among the factors that affected air pollution levels in different countries [109], becoming an important factor in the development of CVDs.…”

Background Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are estimated to be the leading cause of global death. Air pollution is the biggest environmental threat to public health worldwide. It is considered a potentially modifiable environmental risk factor for CVDs because it can be prevented by adopting the right national and international policies. The present study was conducted to synthesize the results of existing studies on the burden of CVDs attributed to air pollution, namely prevalence, hospitalization, disability, mortality, and cost characteristics. Methods A systematic search was performed in the Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science databases to identify studies, without time limitations, up to June 13, 2023. Exclusion criteria included prenatal exposure, exposure to indoor air pollution, review studies, conferences, books, letters to editors, and animal and laboratory studies. The quality of the articles was evaluated based on the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Assessment Form, the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale, and Drummond Criteria using a self-established scale. The articles that achieved categories A and B were included in the study. Results Of the 566 studies obtained, based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria, 92 studies were defined as eligible in the present systematic review. The results of these investigations supported that chronic exposure to various concentrations of air pollutants, increased the prevalence, hospitalization, disability, mortality, and costs of CVDs attributed to air pollution, even at relatively low levels. According to the results, the main pollutant investigated closely associated with hypertension was PM2.5. Furthermore, the global DALY related to stroke during 2016–2019 has increased by 1.8 times and hospitalization related to CVDs in 2023 has increased by 8.5 times compared to 2014. Conclusion Ambient air pollution is an underestimated but significant and modifiable contributor to CVDs burden and public health costs. This should not only be considered an environmental problem but also as an important risk factor for a significant increase in CVD cases and mortality. The findings of the systematic review highlighted the opportunity to apply more preventive measures in the public health sector to reduce the footprint of CVDs in human society.

“…Hesami studied the release of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide gases using the AERMOD model and then assessed the risk using the concentration information obtained from this model. Natural changes to lique ed gas are used in modeling [12]. Feitosa found that mathematical models are useful for impact assessment in the assessment of vehicle air pollution using the AERMOD model in the Brazilian capital.…”

Due to the different types of pollution they put out, putting automotive factories in cities can hurt the air quality in those cities. The aim of this study is to investigate the simultaneous effects of the Saipa automobile industry and two surrounding highways on air quality. This study used Mehrabad meteorological station data for 2019 along with emission rates and topographical data to model the gaseous pollutants released from automobile factories and linear sources using AERMOD software. Field measurements of NO2 pollution by passive adsorbents confirmed the accuracy of the results with a 0.99 correlation, and the same average of two communities of modele and observed concentration. The Lashkari highway has the maximum yearly NO2 concentration of 1209 parts per billion at 515326.80 and 3953279.17 meters, 23 times the NAAQS, The Lashkari freeway had the greatest CO concentration, 12.6 parts per million, at 515326.80 and 3953279.17 meters, 1.4 times the NAAQS. Highway passengers are exposed to NO2 and CO levels above the NAAQS, demonstrating the need for highway and traffic law reform.
