Abstract
This research provides a comprehensive analysis of the problem of air pollution by dust and chemical substances. The study examines the main sources of air pollution, including industrial enterprises, transportation, and agricultural activities. The negative effects of airborne particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10) and harmful gases (SO₂, NO₂, CO) on human health and ecosystems are highlighted based on scientific sources. Using Uzbekistan as a case study, the consequences of the Aral Sea desiccation and the impact of major industrial centers on atmospheric air quality are analyzed. The study proposes practical recommendations for technological, legal, and socio-economic measures aimed at improving air quality and reducing pollution.
