Abstract
<p class="first" id="d5004358e229">Increased atmospheric particulate matter (PM) concentrations
are commonly observed
during desert dust days in Iran, but there is still no evidence of their effects on
human health. We aimed to evaluate the association between daily mortality and exposure
to PM10 and PM2.5 during dust and non-dust days in Tehran and Ahvaz, two major Middle
Eastern cities with different sources, intensity, and frequency of desert dust days.
