Keywords:
Urban air quality, public health, PM2.5, respiratory diseases, South Korea.Abstract
Urban air pollution poses significant risks to public health, contributing to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, reduced quality of life, and increased healthcare costs. This multidisciplinary study analyzes the relationship between air quality and public health outcomes in Seoul, South Korea. Using environmental monitoring data (2015–2025), hospital records, and surveys of 200 residents, the study evaluates the impact of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and ozone (O3) on respiratory illnesses. Results indicate strong correlations between high pollutant levels and increased hospital admissions, highlighting the need for effective policy interventions and community awareness. The study provides recommendations for urban planning, environmental regulation, and public health strategies.
