Environmental Pollutants on Respiratory Health in Urban Populations

Abstract

This research article investigates the impact of environmental pollutants on respiratory health in urban populations, recognizing the profound consequences of urbanization on air quality and public health. Drawing upon insights from environmental science, epidemiology, public health, and urban planning, this study employs a mixed-methods approach to elucidate the complex dynamics driving respiratory morbidity and mortality in urban settings. Quantitative analyses reveal significant associations between ambient air pollution exposure and adverse respiratory health outcomes, while spatial analyses identify disparities in exposure and respiratory health risks across different neighborhoods. Qualitative insights provide deeper understanding of the social, economic, and environmental determinants of respiratory health disparities, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and policy strategies to promote respiratory well-being and environmental justice in urban environments. By synthesizing interdisciplinary perspectives, this research aims to inform evidence-based interventions aimed at mitigating air pollution-related respiratory morbidity and promoting respiratory health equity in urban populations.
