Assessment of the Negative Impact of Urban Air Pollution on Population Health Using Machine Learning Method.

Abstract

This study focuses on assessing the level of morbidity among the population of Almaty, Kazakhstan, and investigating its connection with atmospheric air pollution using machine learning algorithms. The use of these algorithms is aimed at analyzing the relationship between air pollution levels and the state of public health, as well as the correlations between COVID-19 infection and the development of respiratory diseases. This study analyzes the respiratory diseases of the population of Almaty and the level of air pollution as a result of suspended particles for the period of 2017-2022. The study includes recommendations to reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere using machine learning methods. The results of the study show that air pollution is a critical factor affecting the increase in the number of diseases of the respiratory system. The study recommends taking measures to reduce air pollution and improve air quality in order to prevent the development of chronic respiratory diseases. The study offers recommendations to industrial enterprises, traffic management organizations, thermal power plants, the Department of Environmental Protection, and local executive bodies in order to reduce respiratory diseases among the population.
