The article summarizes the accumulated actual data on the dynamics of emissions of pollutants from mobile sources and the incidence of respiratory diseases in the Perm Region. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that over a long-term period (2006–2018), against the background of an increase in the mass of emissions from mobile sources, there is an increase in the first-time detected respiratory diseases of children and adults in the region. Significant correlation coefficients were obtained between the values of emissions from mobile sources and the indicators of respiratory diseases in adults (r=0.70 – high correlation) and children (r=0.61 – average correlation). The dependence of the occurrence of human respiratory diseases on air pollution from mobile sources in the Perm Region was revealed. The study is of practical importance for making decisions on the implementation of measures to reduce the negative impact of mobile sources on the health of the population of the region.
