Background and Objective: Air pollution significantly exacerbates the burden of respiratory disease, particularly in the Middle East. This study aimed to conduct a scientometric analysis of publications on air pollution and respiratory diseases in Middle Eastern countries. Materials and Methods: In this scientometric study, we analyzed 19811 documents on air pollution and respiratory diseases in Middle Eastern countries, published between (2003- 2024) and retrieved from the WoS. Data visualization and analyses were conducted using VOSviewer and HistCite. Results: The publication output showed a consistent upward trend, with an average annual growth rate of 11%. Environmental Science and Pollution Research was the leading journal (467 documents; 2.3%). Iran (28.3%), Turkey (27.1%), and Saudi Arabia (14.2%) collectively contributed more than 69% of the region’s scholarly output. Iran was identified as the most influential country in this field, with 111,930 global citations. Researchers
