Air pollution is a global problem due to the presence of particles called PM 10 and PM 2.5, which affect the air quality and also affect human health and cause cardiopulmonary, respiratory, nervous, lung cancer and other diseases. Air pollution comprises all provinces whether urban or urban, rural, all age groups. The work is multicentric and retrospective, and is carried out by the team of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, as well as doctors from the internist service, and the Department of Hygiene at Tetovo Clinical Hospital. The aim is to study the air quality in the town of Tetovo in North Macedonia as well as the presence of PM10 and PM2.5 particles, Chemical analysis of heavy metals of these PM10 particles were carried out with SEM-EDX. Air samples were taken from six locations in Tetovo. The PPM equipment “Espoo” was used in the period from 23 January and 05 to 13 February were collected PM2.5 and PM10 particles. At the same time two types of nitrocellulose filters with adequate pore size were used for PM2.5 particles and PM10 particles. The chemical analysis results from SEM have shown that PM2.5 particles are composed of Oxygen, Calcium, Iron, Silicon, Carbon Fluoride, and less of Circone, Sulfur, Barium andTitanium. The rest of the paper deals with the effects of these particles in respiratory, cardiovascular, nerve, and lung carcinoma diseases. Data were collected from the Statistical Office of the Public Health Institute in Tetovo and from the Internal Ward in the Clinical Hospital in Tetovo from hospitalized patients for the above-mentioned diseases in the period 2014-2019.
