Effect of Air Pollution on Human Health in Gautam Buddha Nagar

Abstract

Air pollution is a significant environmental and public health problem, especially in rapid urbanizing regions such as Gautam Buddha Nagar (Noida and Greater Noida). This study examines the effect of air pollution on human health using a quantitative approach with a test size of 50 respondents. Data was collected through structured questionnaires that assessed respiratory, cardiovascular and other health conditions related to exposure to air pollution. Statistical analysis, including correlation and regression, was used to determine the ratio of air pollution levels (PM2.5, PM10, NO₂, SO₂) and health outcomes. The findings indicate a strong correlation between air pollution and increased respiratory and cardiovascular disease. The study concludes with political recommendations to curb air pollution and improve public health in Gautam Buddha Nagar.
