This document presents a study on predicting the threat level of lung diseases for outdoor employees due to air pollution. It discusses particulate matter as a major air pollutant in India. Exposure to particulate matter can lead to various health issues like strokes, asthma, COPD, heart attacks, and lung cancer. The study found that 85% of the world's population lives in areas exceeding WHO's safe air pollution levels. It then outlines a method for formulating a threat prediction mechanism using variables like age, air quality, work hours, and commute details to calculate particulate matter inhalation and predict threat levels. The results evaluated cities in India and worldwide, showing Delhi has much higher PM exposure levels for outdoor workers compared to safe standards. The conclusion

1. Study and the Prediction of
Threat Level of Lung
Diseases to outdoor
employees

2. Particulate Matter as Air Pollutant
PM2.5 and PM 10 are the major stakeholders of pollution in the India.
PM 10
PM10 is particulate matter 10 micrometers or
less in diameter.
PM2.5
PM2.5 is particulate matter 2.5 micrometers or less in
diameter
2
Exposure to Particulate Matter Leads to:
1. Stroke
2. Asthma
3. COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
4. Heart Attack
5. Lung Infection
6. lung cancer
7. Congestive Heart Failure
Why Air Pollution is so much serious for all of us?

3. 85 per cent of the world’s population lives in areas that exceed the
WHO’s ‘safe level’ of air pollution.

4. 6,20,000
Premature Deaths in India due to air
pollution

5. 32 %
of Police cops suffering from lung disorders.
3.3 million
people die prematuarly Worldwide

In Hyderabad,
largest reason of death in India.

6. Limitations in Current AQI
▸Government provided AQI shows
temporary effect on body.
▸Gives warning only for people
with Lung Disorders.
▸Different pollutant have different
AQI indexes which creates
confusion among unaware people.

7. Trend
So we found a trend in
Age,
Air Quality,
Cause of disease,
Type of Work.

8. Age
Bones become thinner and become flexible.
Diaphragm gets weakened during aging.
Air sacs become loose and baggy.
Coughing gets less sensitive during aging.
As the age increases the potential threat also
increases significantly
8

9. Air Quality
Nuisance Effect : PM10s get lodged in respiratory
passages and cannot be readily expelled from the
lungs.
Audit committee estimates people with asthma
could be Dying up to nine years early because of
PM10s.
Outdoor air is the main reason for premature lung
Diseases.

Conclusion

26. Results:
▸Delhi outdoor employee inhale 13 times more PM 10 matter, 9.5 times more PM 2.5
matter than London in a year.
▸Delhi outdoor employee takes 400000 ug of PM10 exposure during 8 hours of duty
annually.
▸Lakhnou , Agra, Dehradun , Mumbai respectively shows high increscent of PM 10 and
PM2.5 exposure.
▸Except Indian cities and Beijing all other are much below than safest value 70080 ug.
▸From 2005 to 2010 in Delhi, outdoor employee inhale almost double pollutants in 2010
than year 2005.

▸AQI shows Short term effect on body and
not give long term effects.
▸Gives warning only for people with Lung
Disorders.
▸Different pollutant have different AQI
indexes which creates confusion among
unaware people.
