        Ambient air pollution is recognized as one of the most serious issues around the world. Some effects of air pollution on human health is due to the penetration of pollutants into the body, which can lead to effects on the body's internal system. In order to carry out this study in Isfahan city, the spatial distribution of nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and ozone obtained from the annual average (2023) of Sentinel-P5 satellite products was obtained in terms of moles per cubic meter. The results of the pollutant density accuracy assessment were within the acceptable range of R2 > 0.366 > 0.738. Also, the level of blood creatinine and the geographical coordinates of the residence of 92 patients were also calculated and their spatial relationship with the concentration of pollutants was investigated by linear regression model. The results showed that with the increase in the concentration of each pollutant, the amount of blood creatinine also increased. The best regression model (R2 = 0.234) was obtained for carbon monoxide. The model made for ozone also showed a very low value of detection coefficient equal to (0.023). Based on the results, it seems that the increase in the concentration of these pollutants has caused an increase in blood pressure and stimulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which can lead to kidney dysfunction and an increase in the level of creatine in the blood.
