Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure and respiratory disease prevalence in four major metropolitan regions. Using geospatial mapping and regression modeling, the results show that communities in low-income districts experience up to 42% higher respiratory health risks compared to higher-income areas. The findings highlight persistent environmental health inequalities and suggest that urban policy interventions must address both pollution mitigation and health equity simultaneously.
