Most common diseases that is linked to air pollution are:

1. Ischemic Heart Disease: Ischemia or limitation of blood flow to heart muscle leading to poor oxygen supply to heart. Heart muscle may die from this and may lead to Myocardial Ischemia

2. Stroke: Same condition like Myocardial ischemia, but this occurs to brain. Brain cells die due to poor oxygenation.

3. Lung Cancer: This basically needs no explanations. Malignancy to lung tissue may literally destruct it

4. Lower Respiratory Tract Infection: Although it occurs mostly in children, it may also occur in adults. LRTI includes pneumonia, lung abscess, acute bronchitis.
