Abstract

Air pollution is a critical global health issue, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations, including children. This paper examines the impact of air pollution on pediatric respiratory health, with a focus on asthma, bronchitis, and reduced lung function. Drawing on epidemiological studies and clinical data, the research highlights the role of pollutants such as particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and ozone (O3) in exacerbating respiratory illnesses among children. Strategies for mitigating exposure and improving health outcomes are also discussed.
