Assessing the impact of meteorological factors and air pollution on respiratory disease mortality rates: a random forest model analysis (2017-2021).

ABSTRACT: Air pollution poses a significant threat to the health of all living beings on our planet. It has been scientifically established as a crucial factor affecting mortality rates, respiratory illnesses, mental well-being, and overall health. This study aimed to investigate the impact of air pollution and meteorological factors on respiratory disease mortality rates in Mashhad in 2017-2021 using a Random Forest (RF) model. At first, the daily statistics of meteorological parameters (pressure, humidity, temperature, solar radiation) during 2017-2021 were collected. The information related to pollutants pollutants such as PM_2.5 (which is defined as particulate matter with less than 2.5 micrometer diameter and potentially harmful to humans), PM₁₀ (Particles with a diameter o
