The types of pollution that contribute to Asthma, reduced lung function, and respiratory diseases include suspended particles (such as dust and soot), fibers (asbestos), and harmful compounds (hydrocarbons, ozone). Smoking, industrial emissions, and vehicle exhausts account for the majority of these irritants.

There are many diseases which can affect the respiratory system However, the main respiratory diseases come under the term COPD which stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This includes Bronchitis (inflammation and obstruction of the airways) and Emphysema (damage to the alveoli in the lungs) Asthma is sometimes included in this category although technically it is different because an asthma attack is reversible (with drugs) whereas Bronchitis and Emphysema are not.
The respiratory system is the body system most impacted by air pollution. Exposure to pollutants such as particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide can lead to respiratory issues, including asthma, bronchitis, and reduced lung function. Long-term exposure may exacerbate chronic respiratory diseases and increase the risk of lung cancer. Additionally, air pollution can also affect cardiovascular health, but its primary immediate impact is on the lungs.
According to the World Health Organization, around 9 million people die each year from pollution-related causes, which averages out to about 25,000 deaths per day. Pollution contributes to a range of health issues, including respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers, leading to these daily fatalities.

Three diseases of the respiratory system are asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pneumonia. These conditions can affect the lungs and airways, leading to symptoms such as difficulty breathing, coughing, and chest pain. Treatment options vary depending on the specific disease and its severity.
