Abstract
In developing countries such as Morocco, the concentration of air pollutants has been steadily increasing since the Industrial Revolution in the 1970s; this level has reached a very large-scale in big cities. Therefore, it is extremely important to describe the problem, especially its toxic effects on human health. The study identified the sources of air pollutants in Mohammedia, which is one of the leading industrial cities in Morocco, it analyzed the weather and clinical data through a mathematical and geographical model and presented their various toxicological impacts. As a result, each pollutant affects part or parts of the body’s functions at the human organ systems. We point out that the study is based, in particular, on data of 2014, 2015, and 2016.
