Air pollution associated with road construction and increasing number of vehicles which run over the unpaved roads that contributes in re-suspensions of dust in air turned the Valley into a dust bowl which has potential for severe impacts on human health. Worldwide, 5.4% of all deaths can be accounted to ambient air pollution that is about 3.7 million deaths per year. In the context of Nepal , nearly, 36 people out of every 100,000die due to various diseases linked to air pollution(WHO).

In 2016, in-charge of respiratory disease unit at TU Teaching Hospital and Norvic International Hospitals said the number of patients suffering from respiratory problems had risen by over 25percent in recent weeks. The general objective of this study is to access the status of dust pollution and respiratory disease among inhabitants near road construction area in Katmandu.

For cases of respiratory disease, inpatient record from Helping Hands Community Hospitals is chosen and for status of dust pollution, different records and reports are reviewed .
