Investigation of the effect of climatic parameters on the change of concentration of suspended particles less than 10 micrometers in Zabol city and its relationship with military health

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of climatic parameters on the change in the concentration of particulate matter less than 10 micrometers in Zabol and its relationship with the health of law enforcement. For this research, data Climatic parameters and PM10 concentration of Zabol meteorological station were used during a period of 10 years (2009-2019). After that, the air quality index was reviewed seasonally and monthly, Pearson coefficient was used to study climatic parameters on changes in the concentration of suspended particles less than 10 μm. As the results showed that the significant level obtained between PM10 concentration and average relative humidity (-0.221), total annual rainfall (-0.45), average annual temperature (0.596), maximum wind speed (0.592) and with the number of days with dust and the number of visibility days less than 2 km for Zabol station is 0.801 and 0.769, respectively. he concentration of suspended particles less than 10 μm. The study of air quality index showed that July and August have the highest and January have the lowest air pollution. Due to the increase in PM10 concentration in July, the necessary training to reduce the impact of air pollution (distance) Smoking, proper use of respirators, consumption of fruits and vegetables, exercise and sleep) for law enforcement forces based in Sistan. Commanders should take necessary measures in the correct use of shift work, periodic division of people in contaminated areas and reduction of working time
