Author(s): Muhammad Jahangir*, Babar Naseem, Muhammad Muddassir Ali and Faheem Essa
Human health is thought to be affected by many factors. Air consists of a large number of chemical compounds which are considered pollutants when they found in unnaturally high concentrations and have the potential to harm the environment and human health. Air pollution is at the top rank among environmental contaminants. Heavy metal toxicity is now gaining its place as one of the major factors contributing to detrimental outcomes for human health. Air quality in the urban area is generally poor, especially at traffic intersection roadsides due to continuous vehicular emissions comprising heavy metals, benzene, diesel soot, polyaromatic hydrocarbon, etc. the study encompassed the target area of Lahore, Pakistan where vehicle traffic is believed to be higher and close to industrial zones. Traffic wardens (n=5 from each area) reared in the twelve different zones/sectors of Lahore were a.. View More»
