Evaluating the Contribution of Environmental Pollutants to the Rising Rates of Respiratory Diseases

This paper evaluates the impact of environmental pollution in the high rate among respiratory diseases, particularly asthma in New Delhi, India. New Delhi is one of the most polluted cities in the whole world and it possesses a great amount of pollutants including PM 2.5, nitrogen oxide (NO2), and ozone (O3) that have been credited to poor health consequences. According to the information received in the years 2017-2025, the research is expected to look into the relationship between the mortality rate due to respiratory diseases and air pollutions with reference to asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The authors apply the Random Forest (RF) regression model, which analyzes the impacts of the key pollutants on respiratory health keeping in mind the meteorological factors and mortality. The results have shown that high pollution is strongly correlated with high prevalence of respiratory diseases and PM 2.5 and NO2 have been identified to contribute the largest contribution in air pollution. New Delhi environmental pollutants do not only harm the breathing of human beings but also bring about serious respiratory problems to birds, stray animals, and urban wild animals that are exposed to large quantities of particulate. An increase in PM2.5 and NO 2 has been proved to compromise the lung functionality and immune system in animals which are early signatures of life-threatening air quality. The environmental implications of pollution, as demonstrated by such wildlife effects, and the fact that there are common respiratory risks across the ecological board, increases the urgency of managing shared respiratory risks. Its findings emphasize the need to have enough regulations in the quality of air and the health-related programs to the population to reduce the burden of respiratory disorders in New Delhi. The current research will contribute to the already existing literature on the health effects of air pollution and the necessity to take into consideration the environmental factors when developing a policy on health.
