Abstract

  Background and Aim: Current traditional research methods for solving social problems were challenged due to limited participation of community . The health companion project was carried out with the aim of determining effective model of community participation for solving health problems in Boyerahmad and Dena township. .

  Materials and Methods : This study is a community based participatory research performed in Kohgiloyeh and Boyerahmad province 2005-2009.The study population was the entire rural and urban households of Boyerahmad and Dena county.The strategic committee of project including academic researchers, managers of health and health related sectors was formed and this committee selected six regions for research activities. In each region local directing group "health companion " was established with participation of stakeholders: academic researchers, local leaders, health providers and public representatives to guide all aspects of project. The members of the group empowered and enabled by attending training workshops for need assessment, priority setting, research methodology that through these activities the health problem priorities of the regions were recognized, the research area determined and intervention programs were designed and implemented according to these research area.

  Results: The most important achievement of this project is the methods of activities to reaching goals. Implementation of six participatory interventional proposal for solving health problems and needs are the other achievement. The frequency and means of health problems and their risk factors significantly reduced after the completion of intervention program in each region.

  Conclusion: Establishing and activities of health companion groups followed model of Planned Approach to Community Health (PATCH) that help community to form health promotion team, collecting and organizing of data, choosing health priorities, developing a comprehensive intervention plan and evaluation .

Abstract
Background and Aim:  Dust storms have negative effects on public health, social economy and environment and, thus, lead to many damages in human resources, health sector and agriculture. Iran is one of the areas affected by particulate matter, with serious damages annually.  For these reasons particulate matter increases should receive particular attention in Iran.
Materials and Methods: This research was conducted on solid/mineral section of dust fall in Poldokhtar, Lorestan Province, Iran. Sampling of the particles was done in nine spots in three stages during three months to measue heavy metals, cations and anions. Analysis of the samples for cations and anions was done using the Ic Metrohm system and that for heavy metals using the Icp OES-arcoss system.
Results: Sampling of dust fall was done in February, March and April 2019. Data analysis showed the most highly concentrated cation and anion were SO4 and F, respectively, while the concentrations of Fe and Al were the highest among heavy metals. 
Conclusion: The highest amounts of dust fall were found to occur in February 2019, followed by that in March 2019, and the lowest occurring in April 2019. Due to the fact that compounds/elements with both natural and unnatural origins were found in this study, it can be concluded that the origins of the compounds/elements observed could be both natural and unnatural.
