| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We administered diary-style web questionnaires to 104 volunteers who lived in Yonago City between 2013 and 2015.
Statistically significant differences were observed in 23 of the 29 variables, between participants' symptoms on Asian dust day and the non Asian dust day. The difference in scores for skin tenderness on the Asian dust day compared to the non Asian dust day was 0.11 (95% CI: 0.06-0.15, p < 0.001) A strong correlation was also observed for symptoms in the eyes, nose, respiratory and throat. Respiratory symptoms were significantly correlated with modeled sulfate aerosol concentration (R=0.557, respectively; p <0.01). This study suggests that predictive models for pollutants' arrival can be used to capability to foresee and possibly prevent the health impact of long range transport of air pollutants.
