Regional Differentiation of Emissions and Risk Perception of Dust-Related Morbidity

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of regional differentiation of pollutant emissions into the atmospheric air of the Republic of Uzbekistan for a five-year period, as well as the results of a study of the subjective opinion of the population of Termez on the factors affecting their health, including dust-related diseases. It was found that the greatest contribution to air pollution is made by the Tashkent region (28.1% of the total emissions) and the city of Tashkent (14.4%). At the same time, the results of a questionnaire survey of the population of Termez showed that, despite the relatively low level of air pollution in the Surkhandarya region, the subjective perception of environmental risks remains high.
