CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE APPLIED RESEARCH OF EFFECTS FROM SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT POLLUTION DUE TO ROAD TRAFFIC UPON EYES’ ANATOMY AND PATHOLOGY DEVELOPMENT
Air pollution due to road traffic and all automotive related industries influence the natural characteristics and composition of the earth’s atmosphere. Surrounding environmental pollution due to excessive road traffic is nowadays an important determining factor in health development and stability. Pollutants of major public health concern include particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and sulphur dioxide (SO2) according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The present scientific article reviews some applied studies that investigated the adverse effects of air pollution on the ocular surface and also presents some SO2 experimental data recorded in Cluj-Napoca city in recent years. The paper summarizes an experimental work on the problem of pollution impact upon human health.
