Abstract

Dust is a dangerous factor for the life of plants, animals and humans. In Iran, this phenomenon has affected the lives of the inhabitants of the western country, including the Khuzestan province, and has damaged the environment, health and the economy of the people in these areas. The effects of this phenomenon on the health of people, especially children and students in Khuzestan and Ahvaz, are more than other areas and areas. The study area (Ahwaz) is located in the south west of Iran. The coordinates of this range range from 31 ° to 25-31 minutes northern latitude and between 30-48 and 48-50 ° east longitude. The aim of this study was to analyze the frequency of retrieval days and their correlation with the diseases of patient's students in district 4 of Ahwaz. The data from the microspheres
from the Meteorological Office of Khuzestan province and the statistics of students with disturbances and diseases caused by dust from 4th district of Ahvaz city were collected by distributing the questionnaire and completing it by the elementary school students selected. The data were extracted from the questionnaires and entered into the Excel environment. Spearman and Pearson correlations were used between the frequency of days of dust and the number of patient's students. The software also used SPSS for processing, calculating and analyzing data trends, plotting and analyzing data. The results showed that in the year 2016, the frequency of dusty days is effective in increasing the incidence of complications due to dust, This frequency with coefficients of Pearson's 0/650 and Spearman 0/721* had a positive and significant correlation with the increase in the patient's students.
