Abstract: The urban environment is a massive chemical generator where contaminants like hydrocarbon sulfur and nitrogen oxides react with solar to generate a range of products, such as ozone and dust particles. Consequently, certain regions are substantially exposed to harmful environmental influences, especially air pollution. To improve the pollution-free environment in occupational settings, the impact of different respiratory conditions and their effects on the individual is assessed. Industrial operations, construction, and vehicle emissions expose urban areas to various air pollutants. To determine the impact of urban air pollution a collection of 150 individuals from food service, transportation, and construction is selected and the respiratory health with the consequences based on participants are evaluated based on demographic and occupational exposure. Questionnaires are developed based on breathing symptoms such as phlegm, throat irritations, chest discomfort, wheezing, and stuffy nose. Significant variables such as forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) have been taken into consideration in monitoring the respiratory systems' condition. Statistical analysis technique with SPSS version 25 is employed for effective performance. A statistical technique includes multiple regression analysis for three various domains food service, transportation, and construction are explored more significantly in the field of examining the way respiratory health is affected by urban air pollution in occupational environments.
