Mother's awareness regarding the effect of different aspects of environmental pollution health

ABSTRACT

This study was carried out on 605 mothers having infants and/or preschool children aiming to assess mothers' awareness regarding the effect of different aspects of environmental pollution health. The results revealed that illiterate and primary educated mothers were less aware of environmental pollution and its effect on health than university graduates as well as the different methods used to prevent environmental pollution. The outcome of this study can help the policy makers to establish a baseline data to emphasize on the public awareness regarding pollution in the community at large
