Introduction Air pollution continues to be a significant concern to public health worldwide and a tough problem confronted by both developed and developing countries, whose Exposure has many substantial adverse effects on human health, especially in respiratory diseases. The effect of air pollutants on respiratory diseases is well documented. Air pollution occurs when gases, dust particles, fumes (or smoke) or odour are introduced into the atmosphere in a way that makes it harmful to humans, animals and plant.
3
Outdoor air The major pollutants in outdoor air are particulate matter (PM), ozone (O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and Lead (Pb)
4
Air pollutans Previous studies focusing on air quality near traffic–concentrated areas investigated the impact of exposure to soot and other major traffic–related pollutants, such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) on human health, as well as the relationship between traffic density or proximity to main roads, an indicator of degree of traffic–related air pollution and asthma, respiratory illness, and wheeze in people
5
Purpose The purpose of this study is to confirm the eventual large increasement of the respiratory diseases that may occur as the result of polluted air. Also, the analysis of the number of patients affected by respiratory disease and the doubts that it may have on increasing the number of these patients.
6
Data and Methods The data was provided by the Department of Hygiene and Epidemiology at the Tetovo and Gostivar Hospital. Total number for 2016/17 of patients affected by respiratory diseases. Method: accurate data analysis and how these patients are presented, each month, and in which season of the year are more pronounced
7
Results Upper respiratory tract infections data in Gostivar region for 2016
Age Absolute number Percentage 0-6 years old 7-19 years old 20-59 years old Above 60 years old
8
Upper respiratory tract infections in Gostivar region for 2017
Age Absolute numb Percentage 0-6 year old 7-19 year old 20-59 year old Above 60 years old

Upper respiratory tract infections data in Tetovo region for 2017
Age Absolute number Percentage 0-6 year old 7-19 year old 20-59 year old Above 60 years old
12
Difference of number of Upper respiratory tract infections in the City of Tetovo with Gostivar for 2016 Tetovo Gostivar Total
13
Difference of number of Upper respiratory tract infections in the City of Tetovo with Gostivar for 2017 Tetovo Gostivar Total
14
Conclusion Based on the data from the health institution of the Tetovo and Gostivar Hospital and statistical data processing, we conclude that air pollution has a major impact on the growth of patients affected by the respiratory system. Although we have only researched the upper respiratory tract infections, but being excited about the results, we can hardly conclude that the situation is worrisome to the huge increase in respiratory diseases.
15
Conclusion Significantly observed in the results for the city of Tetovo, where for example in 2016 there were patients affected by these diseases, whereas in 2017 there is a drastic drop also in patients. This proves that in 2016 the air was more polluted in Tetovo due to known causes in the public (Jugohrom factory), so we conclude that with the improvement of ecological conditions we have decreased the number of patients affected by these infections. We conclude that polluted air affects the enormous growth of respiratory system diseases.
