Yes, I am sure that coal-burning factories and increased automobile usage have caused the most significant increase in respiratory illnesses. The emissions from coal-burning factories and the exhaust from automobiles release pollutants such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide, which can irritate and damage the respiratory system, leading to respiratory illnesses such as asthma, bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
