ABSTRACT
Public health is being seriously affected by air pollution resulting from the rapid economic growth observed in Asian countries during recent years. A study was conducted on 16 Asian countries from 2000 to 2020 to examine the relationship between air pollution, economic growth, nitrogen monoxide, and public health. The study utilized fully modified least squares panel and panel vector error-corrected models. The findings indicate a strong and persistent correlation between spending on renewable energy, carbon dioxide emissions, and healthcare expenditures. Specifically, a positive and statistically significant association exists between investments in renewable energy and healthcare. The study concluded that investing in renewable energy can lead to reductions in air pollution, healthcare improvements, and economic growth.
