Heavy metals in air: Analysis using instrument, air pollution and human health - A review

Abstract

Air pollution can harm human health, the environment and cause property damage. Various researches have proven the connection of air quality and human health. The epidemiology and laboratory studies demonstrated that ambient air pollutants (for example PM, O3, SO2 and NO2) contributed to various respiratory problems including bronchitis, emphysema and asthma. This present mini review is to discuss the relationship between the human health and air quality. This conceptual paper is focusing on the findings from air quality literature review and the significant health effects related to it. Besides, the principle of analytical instrumentation also discussed in order to identify the best instrument for applying in laboratory analysis.
