Examining the Correlation Between Urban Pollution and Lung Health

Introduction

Urban pollution, primarily stemming from industrial activities, vehicular emissions, and construction, poses significant health risks. Among these risks, respiratory health is particularly affected. This examination aims to explore the correlation between urban pollution levels and lung health outcomes.

Types of Urban Pollution

• Particulate Matter (PM): Tiny particles that can penetrate the respiratory system.

• Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2): A gas produced by combustion processes that can irritate the airways.
