Analysis of Selected Health Problems in Children and Youth with Environmental Issues in the Context of Air Pollution Emissions in Poland

The study aims to analyze selected environmental aspects and trends in morbidity for specific diseases among children and youth due to emissions of selected air pollutants in various regions of Poland from 2015–2022. The frequency of certain diseases among children and youth depended on the type of county (urban or predominantly agricultural pressure) and the county’s location. The results indicate that data from the KOBIZE (National Center for Emission Balancing and Management) database is insufficient for studying youth morbidity. Statistical analyses show a correlation with the frequency of cancer and bronchial asthma in counties with livestock at the province level. Analyses concerning soil nitrogen load from NH3 and NOx emissions show significant differences between counties.
