The study of temporal dimensions can be considered as one of the fields of geomedical research. This paper focuses on the temporal dimensions of people with respiratory diseases. This disease is the most widespread among the residents of the Basra Governorate. According to statistics from the Basra Governorate Health Department, the diseases under study, with the exception of lung cancer, adopt a similar pattern in their annual temporal behavior, whether in general trends or in changes from year to year, and this pattern is explained by factors that can be classified as direct and indirect factors. Based on the relevance of these elements in the impact, as well as some indices from which these factors can be deduced, such as population growth, disease incidence, and indoor air quality (IAQ). In terms of seasonal changes and disease trends throughout the year, there is a distinct seasonal tendency in patients with respiratory sensitivity and bronchial asthma, with injuries beginning in the autumn season, continuing into the winter, and decreasing in the summer season. The monthly distribution of tuberculosis shows a seasonal trend that increases in the spring and summer and diminishes in the autumn. Because of the disease's complicated character and various causes, as well as a collection of local environmental elements that play a part in explaining the seasonal temporal patterns that do not follow a similar pattern, lung cancer does not have an unique seasonal trend in which it occurs.
