Traffic and power generation are the main sources of urban air pollution. One of the most significant
environmental risk factors for asthma is air pollution. Asthma, a chronic respiratory disease characterized
by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, is a growing public health concern, particularly in urban
regions, where air pollution levels are often high. Air pollution is a complex mixture of gases and
particulate matter that can irritate the lungs and trigger asthma symptoms. Urban areas, with their high
population density and concentration of industrial and transportation sources, often have high levels of
air pollution. Exposure to air pollutants such as particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur
dioxide (SO2), and ozone has been linked to the asthma symptoms and increased hospitalizations. The
effects of particulate matter (PM), gaseous pollutants (ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and Sulphur dioxide),
and mixed traffic-related to air pollution. From a mechanistic perspective, air pollutants probably cause
oxidative injury to the airways, leading to inflammation, remodeling, and increased risk of sensitization.
Although several pollutants have been linked to new-onset asthma, the strength of the evidence is
variable.
