영문 초록

The effects of volcanic ashes on human health differ in distance and time. It was found that indirect and long-term damages are significant in remote areas from the volcanoes, while the direct and physical damages in adjacent areas are observed. In general, the minute polluted particles of volcano ashes are diffused to remote area from the volcanoes after staying over atmosphere. As a result, those particles have indirect and significant effects on human health such as eye disease, atopic dermatitis and PTSD, as similar as previous research results on Asian dust. This presentation presents the effects of volcano ashes and similar situation such as Asian dusts on human health based on indirect and long-term damage factors in remote areas from volcanoes. Further, this study provides a fundamental reference for medical hazard mitigation through examining the factors that affect health hazards in similar situation such as Asian dust.
