MAMANI, Marcial Guevara et al. The economic-social sectors and air pollution in Peru, 1970-2020. Rev. Inv. Cs. Agro. y Vet. [online]. 2023, vol.7, n.19, pp.72-87.  Epub 09-Jan-2023. ISSN 2664-0902.  https://doi.org/10.33996/revistaalfa.v7i19.199.

Air pollution in these times is qualified as one of the most critical and worrying environmental problems worldwide, due to the fact that it breaks the air balance, modifying the proportion of its components or the introduction of toxic or undesirable elements into the atmosphere, which finally affects the environmental quality of the surroundings. The objective of the study is to determine the economic and social sectors that contribute to greater air pollution in Peru between 1970 and 2020. Methodologically, the approach was quantitative, analytical, descriptive and non-experimental; statistical data from the database of the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics, Central Reserve Bank of Peru and the page Datos-Macro were used, considering the econometric model of log - log type. It was determined that the economic and social sectors that influence air pollution are population density, vehicle fleet, production in the agricultural, construction and energy sectors. Specifically, the vehicle fleet, agricultural production, construction and energy sectors had a direct influence on air pollution, while population density had an indirect influence. Finally, with a 1% increase in the production of the construction, agricultural, and energy sectors and the vehicle fleet, air pollution increases by 0.29%, 0.098%, 0.24%, and 0.19%, respectively; with respect to population density, if it increases by 1%, air pollution decreases by 0.77%.
