Correlation Analysis of Drinking Water and Atmospheric Air Pollution with Public Health Indicators in the Republic of Karakalpakstan

This article analyses the dynamics of chemical pollution in open water bodies, well water, and tap water systems across various regions of the Republic of Karakalpakstan (Western, Northern, Central, and Southern zones) and the impact of water pollution on public morbidity.The study compares statistical data from 2011-2020, focusing on the increasing concentration of nitrates, sulfates, and chlorides, as well as the level of public access to safe drinking water.Additionally, the paper examines atmospheric air pollution caused by dust and transport emissions, highlighting regional variations in environmental degradation.The findings emphasize the growing impact of chemical pollution on the social sphere and public health, identifying it as a critical environmental challenge for the region.The findings reveal a strong correlation between drinking water quality and public health in the Turtkul district, with moderately strong correlations identified in most other districts and the city of Nukus.Furthermore, a high correlation between air pollution and morbidity was recorded in the Northern medical-geographic zone, particularly in the Takhtakupir district.The study highlights the regional medical-geographic distribution of environmental health risks across the republic.
