ANALYSIS OF AIR QUALITY POLLUTION BASED ON RESPIRATORY DISEASE INDICATORS

Abstract

Air pollution in modern conditions represents one of the key environmental problems that significantly affect public health. The human respiratory system is particularly vulnerable to adverse environmental factors, as the respiratory organs are in direct and constant contact with atmospheric air. This article presents a comprehensive analysis of air quality pollution based on indicators of respiratory diseases.

The study examined the dynamics of major atmospheric pollutants, including fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and carbon monoxide (CO), as well as statistical data on the prevalence of acute and chronic respiratory diseases. A correlation was established between the level of air pollution and the incidence of bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, and acute respiratory infections.

The results indicate a significant influence of air quality on the development of respiratory pathology and highlight the need to strengthen environmental monitoring and develop preventive and health-improving measures aimed at reducing the negative impact of pollutants on public health.
