Abstract :Air pollution affects human health, the environment, and the economy worldwide. This comprehensive analysis elucidates the intricate characteristics of air pollution and its quality by amalgamating the latest study outcomes derived from papers published on the DergiPark platform in Türkiye throughout the period spanning from 2022 to 2023. The papers in our study are classified according to their research themes. The main findings suggest that weather, urbanization, industry, and wildfires affect air pollution and quality. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected air quality dynamics, requiring further study. Scientists have used various methods to forecast, evaluate, and simulate, but challenges remain that require new approaches. Investigating the causal pathways linking air pollution to climate change, urban development, and transportation will help us better understand the problem. Empirical study into the effects of air pollution and quality on human health is essential for making informed policy decisions, especially for vulnerable groups. Evaluating the efficacy of current regulations and establishing new approaches can help guide effective air quality. This paper is a comprehensive synthesis of scholarly studies pertaining to air quality and pollution, providing a comprehensive overview of the extensive ramifications associated with this subject matter.
