THE IMPACT OF ATMOSPHERIC AIR QUALITY IN AREAS OF HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE HEALTH OTHE POPULATION OF AN INDUSTRIAL CITY

In the context of industrialization and intensive development of the transport network in large industrial cities, there is a steady increase in air pollution, especially in areas adjacent to major transport routes. This work is devoted to the study of the sanitary and hygienic characteristics of atmospheric air in such zones and their impact on public health. The study provides a comprehensive analysis of the composition of pollutants (including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, etc.), and identifies the relationship between pollution levels and morbidity rates (respiratory, allergic, and cardiovascular diseases). The main goal is to assess the degree of risk to public health and formulate practical recommendations for improving the quality of the air environment and preventing diseases caused by exposure to transport emissions. The results can be used in the activities of health authorities, environmental services, and urban infrastructure planning.
