Sun Coast Remediation Data Files

Particulate Matter (PM)

In 2016, Velentza conducted quantitative research on existing data concerning particulate matter and its impact on humans and other organisms' health. Velentza (2016) is a Registered Nurse (RN) specializing in psychiatric and environmental nursing at the Eginition Hospital in Athens, Greece. The study outlines particulate matters' classification, how they are formed and their direct sources, and the impact on the human body and DNA (Velentza, 2016). The study found that exposure to particulate matter can cause minor to serious damage to the human body, including increased phlegm, persistent cough, dizziness, respiratory problems, damaged lung tissue, and cardiovascular diseases (Velentza, 2016). The study also found that long-term human exposure to particulate matter can reduce a human's life span by one to two years (Velentza, 2016). The study relates to Sun Coast because there is a concern that particulate matter on and around the job site is causing health problems for their employees, which directly impacts costs for employee health benefits and compensation.
