  abstract: The book 'Diseases and Health Consequences of Air Pollution, Volume 3' focuses on the complex relationship between air pollution and human health. Edited by Mohammad Hadi Dehghani and other experts, it comprehensively addresses the health impacts of air pollution, including respiratory diseases, cancer, and hypertension. The book explores various risk factors such as age, gender, and socio-economic conditions, while also discussing global, regional, and local air pollution monitoring and control strategies. It is intended for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in environmental health and public health fields, aiming to provide insights into the health consequences of air pollution and inform future research and policy development.
