Air quality, both indoor and outdoor, plays a crucial role in respiratory health. Particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone are significant contributors to respiratory conditions such as asthma, COPD, and respiratory infections. Vulnerable populations, including children and the elderly, are particularly at risk. Improving air quality through better ventilation, reducing emissions, and policy initiatives is essential to mitigate these health impacts.
