The role of dust due to soil erosion in causing allergies in population groups in Iran

Abdullah Kaviani Rad

An allergy occurs when the body's immune system reacts to a particular substance while that substance does not react in other people. The immune system makes proteins called antibodies against external agents (allergens). Antibodies produced by the immune system release other chemicals, such as histamines, and histamine causes symptoms of inflammation. A study by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America found that anaphylaxis is an allergic reaction threatening people's health, affecting about one in 50 Americans. However, there is a one in 20 chance. Studies by the WHO show that about a quarter of the world's population suffers from allergy complications. Urbanization and the industrialization of human societies are increasing the number of people with seasonal allergies. Dust particles are allergens in different age groups that enter the respiratory tract through respiration and stimulate the immune system to react. A study on the impacts of fine dust on health and the environment showed that fine dust climbs to a height of six kilometres and is transported up to six thousand kilometres. This condition is dangerous for the age group of adults, children, and patients with respiratory diseases, so governments and doctors recommend that people stay at home and travel less outside the home. In addition to endangering people's health, this situation can severely undermine the economy and livelihoods as offices, shops, and workshops are closed, similar to what happened during the Lockdown period of Coronavirus; there is an economic crisis.
