| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is worried about the health impacts of cross-border air pollutants transports from Northeast Asia. In the present study, atmospheric PM2.5 source of cross-border transport substances brought by westerly winds was studied the amount of particles and its components, the atmosphere and personal exposure level, health effects of PM2.5 including yellow dust in Mongolia, China and Kurume. As a result, weight of PM2.5 and its components in the atmosphere and the personal exposure showed a tendency of correlation and regional differences. During the season of yellow dust flying, adult patients with chronic respiratory disease showed the symptom exacerbation and lower activity of psychophysiological levels. Thus, our results suggested that future epidemiological studies should be designed carefully including these points.
