mental impacts, especially since respiratory diseases have reached their maximum in this region.
– Air quality in the Annaba area varies from excellent to fairly good with a rate of
81%. The poor quality is due in most cases to dust levels and to a lesser extent to
photochemical pollution during the summer season.
– The degradation of environment in Algeria costing $ 1.7 billion per year, or
3.6% of GDP.
– The state report on environment shown that 30% of consultations are for respiratory diseases, 40% of infant mortality (children under 1 year) is caused by respiratory diseases and 600000 asthmatics suffer permanently.
– The increase in the number of different respiratory emergencies proves an
increasing of PM pollution.
A sustainable control, periodic monitoring and the establishment of a database
connecting with air pollution, can play a key role to effective assessment and reducing the negative impacts of air pollution in the study area.
