Coal-fired power plant airborne particles impact towards human health

The explosion of global warming and climate change occurs parallel to the raise rise of earth development. These phenomena happen due to the deterioration of atmospheric environment rooted from human activity. Ranges of air pollutants had been discovered. However, this research focuses on airborne p...
