PM10 and their Bio-Contamination in Makkah Saudi Arabia- Case Studys

Abstract: Atmospheric Particulate Matter (PM) is considered one of the most important air pollutants in terms of its health impacts, environmental degradations and visibility. Particles size, their chemical composition and atmospheric level are important factors for determining their adverse health impacts. In this paper the main objective of this work was focus on PM 10 and its bio-accumulations (microbial load) in Makkah during Hajj seasons 2016 (1437AH). This study concluded that the concentration of respirable parti… Show more

“…Air pollution is one of the emerging environmental issues in the developing as well as developed countries across the globe [1]. A large amount of gaseous pollutants and other atmospheric particulate matter (APM) are being produced through immense pollution generating activities including vehicles emitting smoke and fossil fuels used for energy requirements, cooking, and different anthropogenic activities [2]. APM is reportedly one of the major causes of adverse health issues particularly which are related to human respiratory and cardiovascular systems [3].…”
