All the three classified regions had shown knowledge on air pollution which few talk about and very rare. Women especially from Kurdistan were also found to be less aware of issues on air pollution. And the major sources of air pollution were found to be oil refineries and military conflicts emitting mostly particulate matter and sulphur dioxide which affects the respiratory health of most Iraqis mainly though asthma and cough as a result of rapid smog noticed by the respondents.
