Résumé
The dried bed of the world's second largest permanent Hypersaline lake, Lake Urmia, acts as a Hypersaline particle emission source. In the present study we aim to assess the health impact of this disaster and examine the association of Hypersaline particles with total and differential white blood cell counts (WBC) and homocysteine (Hcy), the biomarkers of cardiovascular diseases, in the residents around Lake Urmia. Based on the previous study three regions were selected as clean and polluted regions for ambient particulate matter (APM) from 2008 to 2015. Concentration of APM (PM
