Introduction: The Moravian-Silesian Region (MSR) is heavily polluted, especially due to heavy industry and local heating, and concentrations of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) are among the highest in the European Union. Methods: To verify the impact of air pollution on the health of the population in the MSR, the morbidity of children was analysed in three studies which are reviewed: 1) morbidity in children; 2) asthma bronchiale in children; and 3) impact of air pollution on the genome of newborns. Morbidity in children was studied in 10 pediatric districts in Ostrava City. Asthma bronchiale was studied in children from Ostrava-Radvanice and the control district of Prachatice, southern Bohemia, by gene expression profiles. The impact of air pollution on the genome of newborns was studied in the district of Karvina and the control district of Ceske Budejovice. Results: In asthmatic children from Ostrava, increased gene expression corresponded to the non-allergic type of asthma. Concentrations of benzo[a]pyrene in the winter of 2014 were 5.36 ± 3.64 vs. 1.45 ± 1.19 ng/ m3 in CB, P
