Abstract

Introduction: Coal-fired power plants contribute to air pollution emissions of nearly one-third of global SO2 , 14 % of NOx , and 5 % of PM2.5. This condition could worsen adults' respiratory health who live close to power plants; WHO estimates that COPD and LRTI cause around 18% of premature deaths related to outdoor air pollution. This literature review aims to conduct a systematic review of the health impacts of coal-fired power plant emissions on adults' respiratory systems and explore what risk factors lead to decreased lung status. Also, to answer how risk factors influence decreased lung function in adults' respiratory system from coal-fired power plants' emissions. Discussion: This study used a literature study method using an online database to of various research data sources with the same topic. The searching of articles was performed based on the inclusion criteria. From an initial collection of 468 articles, after screening and considering its feasibility, four articles were obtained to serve as material for the final systematic review. The literature review showed that there had been a change in lung function of respiratory system of adults due to long-term exposure to emissions from coal-fired power plants. Factors that influence decreased lung function in adults were NOx and SO2 exposure levels, residence distance, wind direction, age, and smoking status. Conclusion: Future research should focus on improving models for assessing exposure to NOx , SO2 , PM10 and PM2.5, considering age and smoking habits in evaluating lung function.

Abstract

Introduction: This review deals with research and scientific perspectives about whether there is any effect linked to particle size and structure of one of the significant atmospheric pollutants of particulate matter (pm) on the duration of residence in air and transport of the virus causing Covid19, originating in China and becoming a global pandemic in 2020, and hence whether pm may change the level of effectiveness of the virus in humans. Discussion: The virus causing Covid19 may bind (adsorption) to the surface of particles classified as fine particles and use these particles as transporters. These may easily pass into the throat and lungs of people via inhalation and cause deadly disease, as revealed by the results of scientific research. Fine particles may display variability in terms of chemical properties, emission density, degradation duration, and long- and short-distance transport properties, in addition to precipitation or suspension mechanisms. Conclusion: In this study, a review was prepared by investigating research performed since 2020 about the correlations between the virus causing Covid19, continuing to have deadly effects worldwide, with pm density and particle diameter to provide a guide for future studies.
