This article investigates the level of atmospheric air pollution caused by PM2.5 and PM10 fine particulate matter in the industrial areas of the Andijan region. During the study, the effects of industrial enterprises, vehicle traffic, urbanization processes, and meteorological factors on atmospheric air quality were analyzed. Environmental monitoring, statistical analysis, and mathematical modeling methods were used to assess the dispersion of PM2.5 and PM10 particles. The results of the study showed that the concentration of fine particulate matter in some industrial areas exceeded international environmental standards. It was determined that wind speed, humidity, traffic flow, and industrial emissions significantly affect the level of atmospheric air pollution. At the end of the study, recommendations were developed to improve the ecological condition of atmospheric air and enhance the environmental monitoring system.
