ABSTRACT
Particulate matter (PM) is one of the most contaminants that has a greater influence on health than the others. Each chemical component of PM has a unique toxicity, which might change depending on the time of day and location. According to many research on PM, the relationship between PM and morbidity and mortality varies depending on the location. This article reviews some of Iraqi studies that have examined the subject of particulate matter. The latest findings indicate a rise in the concentration of suspended particles in the air of Iraq due to activities such as burning fossil fuels, electricity generation, transportation, industrial processes like cement manufacturing, the re-suspension of dust caused by wind and dust storms. These factors also pose a potential risk for various diseases including cancer, respiratory disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. It is also detrimental to plants.
